I don't think strict 14 year copyright was in effect anywhere where industrialized printing and reproduction was also extant.

If patents and copyrights really do promote innovation, you could be stunting innovation for the long term, even if you could put already-made discoveries to good use in the short term. It'd have been nice to see what specific examples of recent articles you're talking about.
