   5 <p>This summer I finally had time to continue working on the Norwegian
   6 <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> version of the 2004 book
   7 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig,
   8 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with todays copyright
   9 law.  Yesterday, I finally completed translated the book text.  There
  10 are still some foot/end notes left to translate, the colophon page
  11 need to be rewritten, and a few words and phrases still need to be
  12 translated, but the Norwegian text is ready for the first proof
  13 reading. :) More spell checking is needed, and several illustrations
  14 need to be cleaned up.  The work stopped up because I had to give
  15 priority to other projects the last year, and the progress graph of
  16 the translation show this very well:</p>
