I heard an interesting report on the radio some time ago about the trade in 'Pirated' Gm seeds in India. Apparently some inventive farmers have managed to use cross-fertilisation to produce non-sterile varieties of the crops modified for higher-yields etc. They are selling these new varieties which, as they can be replanted, are in high demand. The companies who originally developed them are trying to stamp it out, but its going to be next to impossible from the sounds of things.

An interesting twist, once the technology is out there, perhaps it can be appropriated and used in a fair way.
