I guess every college student that uses the library for reference material and refers to the material in their college papers is stealing as well? They are taking quotes and content from copyrighted material without once ever paying for it. Better throw these students in jail!

There's a difference between taking a quote from something and copying the whole thing. The latter will usually get you an F.

Though that's a good argument, I don't think it'd fully apply to this situation, since in song copying, there's an copyright infringment, but in your example, fair use allows exemption of that infringment.
