: He does, does he? What is his view then
: of the position you've taken that links
: to infringing works (without knowledge that
: they are infringing)
: are also infringing? Given his various
: opinions about copyrights being a balance
: between public and private interest
: (cf. White vs. Samsung, Kozinski's dissenting
: opinion, for one example),

Sorry, the White vs. Samsung is about
publicity rights, but nonetheless, I was
referring to his comments about creativity
and how people create by referencing others.
I quote (just one of many):

All creators draw in part on the work of those who came before,
referring to it, building on it, poking fun at it; we call this
creativity, not piracy.

Some of the people who linked to your book
claimed they did so to criticise, and this
would be "valid".

I also don't see Kozinski agreeing with the SPA,
which, quite frankly, appears to have little
clue as to how copyright law works (cf. discussions
on misc.int-property about the SPA).
