A floated element is removed from "normal flow"; in other words, it
suddenly stops having some of its normal effect on the things around
it. One of the changes is that backgrounds and borders don't carry
past a float unless there's something below which clears it; from the
point of view of the border, the element it wraps around ends where
the float begins (since there isn't anything in "normal flow" past
that point).

To solve this you'll either need to have something else below the
#copyright div with 'clear: right', or you'll need to clear it using
some other method. Several useful techniques are listed here:
