re read the act there is no special song lyric clause in the copyright act.
remember you objected to taking 3 distinct songs and remixing them together into a brand new performance
you objected to someone using nothing but the words completely changing the tone, tempo, and emotional context.
you objected to using the lyrics to prove a concept genre change in the industry
big enough to get today coverage
you arguing for a change to the context of fair use that would prevent such productions for music

I didn't object to fair use. I was responding to another persons post and you jumped in with comments on derivative works.
If a new law passes (and depending on what it encompasses) there could indeed he an effect on how websites decide to operate. But ultimately if a new law addresses a balance between the current file sharing epidemic and whether websites are comfortable hosting material that has the potential to cause issues for them - thats a balance with which I'm personally very comfortable.

try it explain what you do without remixing any of the words and phrases of your competitors in any of the ways you objected too.
