Greenspan Examines the Economics of IP

Posted by michael on from the central-planning dept.

lilgerry writes "Alan Greenspan is asking some tough questions about the correct balance between rewarding innovators and inhibiting follow-on innovators. There's not many answers here, but there's a hint that there could be some clear economic thinking coming to be added to the discussion. Several good questions raised, and in very precise terms that should get papers published on these topics for years to come."

    You won't hear any "speach", anywhere. They're called speeches.

    Just thought I'd point that out.

    Mr. Greenspan, I present to you my plea. Ignore if you choose to:

    Ever since the Federal Reserve Act, life and the economy has allways been uncertain. The Federal Reserve Act established "LEGAL TENDER", not lawful money. In the past, LAWFUL MONEY has always been directed towards GOLD or SILVER certificates backed by their respective apparatus or the free exchange of GOLD or SILVER. The milled spanish dollar has always been composed of GOLD. The Federal Reserve System established that the United States Dollar is composed of Denim Cotton Lint and Cellulose Fiber; no economic comparison to GOLD and SILVER because metals can't be created. As a worldly standard, GOLD and SILVER is recognized as lawful money in Common Law. Common Law is reserved by the 7th Ammendment to the Constitution of the united States of America. Why did the Federal Reserve Act serve as the distinguisher of the Common Law venue, legally founded as the law of the land? The Federal Reserve Note is an instrument to monopolize currency, it created a Federal government that serves as police powers by extending its jurisdiction to anyone that benefits from the use of Federal Reserve Notes (BUCK ACT). The FRN is not a legal TENDER, but established its title as LEGAL TENDER. I humbly request that the Federal Reserve Act be investigated, as a corporation-created State that only serves to regulate commerce by monopolizing the market with fiat coin money and fiat paper money is unconstitutional and unlawful by the conditions of the law of the land beknownst as English Common Law.

    Sincerily,
    One of the free men of Montana that will return you and your fiat money back to the dust.
