+eIFL takes issue with this sentence -- See, for example, [http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32001L0029:EN:HTML/ Article 5, Section 3 of the EU Copyright Directive], which provides 15 specific exceptions that member countries can enact, as well as one exception member countries are required to enact. -- eIFL asserts that there are actually 21 exceptions enumerated.  Their count seems to include the exceptions in Article 5, Section 2.  The exceptions in Section 2 only apply to rights under Article 2, while Section 3 applies to rights under Articles 2 and 3.  Is it misleading to discuss the exceptions in Section 3, but not those in Section 2? They do have a point that the exception for libraries, which is included in Section 2, would seem to be particularly relevant for this course.
