-Quick highlight of the major themes I see in eIFL's comments:
-) Concern about what they view as loaded language -- "copyright owner," focus on "protection," etc.  I've gone through and tried to tone down the language somewhat, but much of this comes down to decision on what this course should be -- is it meant to teach what the law is, or advocate what it should be? That will inform the decision on the language and the manner in which the material is presented.
-) Broader pedogogical concerns.  eFIL takes exception to the discussions of the three-step test, TRIPS felexibilities, etc.  They are advocating for an approach that presents the current debate within the scholarship as to how these issues should be interpreted/applied.  While I've taken a stab at addressing some of these (a) I'm not an expert in the academic debates on this topic, and (b) we need to balance presenting the academic debate with usability of the course -- the course is not meant for academics, and too much dissusion of the issues could end up making it confusing and overly detailed for its purpose.
-I've included more detail in the discussion of the individual modules.
