Librarians with an interest in copyright - and hey, isn't that all of us? - might be interested in this. A super-brainy maths-type guy at Cambridge has made a study which attempts to quantify the competing interests in copyright, in order to calculate the optimum period of copyright. Care to guess? His answer is fourteen years. Sounds good to me, but I suspect Mickey Mouse's lawyers might have a different idea. Speaking of Mickey and his lawyers, that reminds me of the joke about Mickey's divorce, but it's a bit too 'blue' to repeat, even on a library blog.
