Thanks for the link - just sent her a fax via that service. (Not
about MP3, but about the local matter I referred to earlier).

As you might expect, he's not exactly coming out as a disciple of
Richard Stallman :-) However, anything from someone as credible as
him challenging the existing setup on economic grounds is highly
important.



For those who don't keep up with their global economic policy - Alan
Greenspan is chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, which is sort of
the US equivalent to the Bank of England or the Central European
Bank, in that it's the Central Bank of the USA.

Alan Greenspan, like Eddie George in the UK, is appointed but then
operates independantly of the government - the key thing he controls
is is (re)discount rate (which is the US equivalent of the UK base
rate - the rate at which banks can borrow from the Government.)
