Copyright Infringement

I posted a poem from Mountainwings onto my blog some days ago. I posted the complete poem, dutifully recorded a "©" symbol below the poem, along with the author's name, and this, to my mind constituted fair use.

Today, I received a legal notice from blogger.com saying that they had received a notice that I was infringing a copyright, and that I had better remove the offending post within 3 days. Ab Kaun Phaltu Ka Panga Le...so edited the post.

I find the whole affair slightly strange....anyhow! For the legally inclined, here's the complete legal notice!
