Which is allowed by fair use, and as you
added to it to express your opinion.
The reference to an a pop song's Title isn't violating anyone's Copyright. Titles are within fair use.
If you'd uploaded the whole song, in mp3 format, I'm sure that TPTB for MobileRead would have had it removed if it was still under Copyright. But you ddn't need to post the whole thing to express yourself, did you?
No one is talking about fair use quotes, or titles, or forum discussions, but the copying of whole works such as books.
You're comparing apples and oranges and trying to tell us it's really lemonade.
