'''CHRIS NOTES'''
* Need a cite for the SCOTUS case mentioned under The Concept of Originality.
* Need a cite for the US copyright statute quote.
* The section on owning a copy vs owning a copyright should be substantiated and expanded
* need a cite for Kluwer v. Lamoth in the joint authorship section
* there is nothing about transformative use in the derivative/transformative section???
* isn't the "employment and works for hire" section redundant to the [edit] Audiovisual/Cinematographic Works And Computer Programs section at least in part?
*


KAI Comments
+ The inclusion of this sentence -- This rule provides a solution for performances that are being broadcast or transmitted, but, arguably, live performances that are simultaneously recorded but not transmitted are still unprotected by copyright law. -- may be more confusing than educational.
+ The location of the discussion "what is an author" seems very odd. The term is used frequently prior to this, but this section is the first in which the concept is addressed (in contrast to other concepts that were discussed back in Module 1).  Maybe move it up.
