	One of eIFL's criticisms was the lack of citation to statutes, etc. Is there a reason the citation to the Statute of Anne was removed? And does it make sense to remove that but keep the citation to the Copyright Clause of the US Constitution?

	~~Comments from KAI:~~

	+ Under "What is Copyright" - how far do we want to go with promoting a particular view? I toned down the language -- "According to them, copyright law should focus on inspiring creativity, not enriching authors. Many important copyright laws imply this viewpoint" -- since this seems to be more advocacy than teaching. But the ultimate balance is for someone else to strike.

	~~+ Need to include definitions of sound recordings and commissioned works in the glossary.~~

	+ In the section "What does copyright law cover" - I changed the example because it might be misleading to tell people that they can rewrite newspaper articles. While I think it's ridiculous, the Supreme Court has not yet driven a stake through the heart of the "hot news" doctrine.

	~~+ Changed the definition of economic rights, since the old one seemed to imply that noncommercial uses weren't covered.~~

	~~+ In addition to linking to Wikipedia for the discussion of what works are in the public domain, we may also want to link to the ALA's new widget: http://www.librarycopyright.net/digitalslider/~~

	+ The term "creative freedoms" seems a bit off... It also makes the discussion of licensing in this section a bit strange. I moved the licensing discussion up to try to deal with this, but it still strikes me as odd.
