Miguel Afonso Caetano send me a rejoinder which I think I should share with the list since he didn't post it himself. Apparently I am/was deeply wrong about Jacques Attali stand on IP, portraying him as a fundamentalist. I must confess that my pronouncement was based on a limited knowledge of his work, since I read only one book of his (forgot the title - and he wrote so many... ;-( where I got the impression that he put a lot of trust in knowledge as a marketable good (and he was refering to copyright I am sure - but then...) In any case I am glad there is a voice of reason among hi-profile, mainstream French intellectuals. Please read the texts URLed below.
