David, some of the legal stuff seems quite forced, such as Monsanto renting seeds to farmers. They sign a contract that limits what they can do with them. I am sure that there is some legal basis since the courts uphold them, but it does not seem to make sense -- except as the exercise of corporate power. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929
