Ok, you ignored alluded to the fact that the problem I was talking about existed, and then proceeded to go on about how great of an idea t-genes as a whole are by pointing to the significantly more benign case.
Yet another ridiculous feature of capitalism that needs to be eliminated ASAP.

And I reassess that both cases are better than having farmers being sued over intellectual property laws because patented seeds were found in their fields, which is hold as circumstantial evidences of guilt. US farmers still have to buy new seeds every year, the difference is that now they need to do so even if they never wanted to use those seeds! In other words they're forced to buy those products. Every year.
But I admit the current situation is better for third-world countries where seed providers did not manage to get constraining laws. But for other countries it is worse.
