It's not the length of the text that makes it able to be protected (my
dictionary keeps claiming protectable is not a word, so it must be a
lawyer word).
A phone book is very long, but not able to be protected at all (Much to
their chagrin :P).
The text quoted has to meet a set of requirements for originality, etc,
in order to be able to be protected.
I don't believe it does.
