    Good catch. The 14 + 14yrs is actually in the copyright act of 1790, which was signed into law by president George Washington.

    Still, being that it was agreed upon in the 1st ever US congress and signed by the first ever US president, I think its pretty easy to find the founders intent for copyright law.
