| John Milton |
In keeping with yesterday’s
interest in intellectual property, on the 27th April 1667, a blind
and impoverished John Milton sold the copyright on his work Paradise Lost for £10. The relative
value of £10 at that time would be in the region of £1300. This would certainly
have kept him going for a short while, but not a lot of money for Paradise Lost.

| Ehrlichman |
On the 27th April
1914, Honduras became a signatory to the Buenos Aires copyright treaty.
On another note, on the 27th
April 1978, John D. Ehrlichman, former aide to United States President Nixon,
was released from an Arizona prison after serving 18 months for Watergate
related crimes. His own paradise lost.
