Of special interest (well, to me at least) is the Prime Palaver #4 in that
library (i.e. http://www.baen.com/library/palaver4.htm) in which two of
Macaulay's speeches in the House of Commons on copyright period extension
bills appear.
Macaulay's idea of a good protection period was for 42 years after
publication, or until the death of the author, whichever happens first.
