You're right. I should have worded that section differently. I made some edits to clarify. I'm mainly referring to content like "74 links to help you make money blogging" where it's a lengthy and unique list that adds a lot of value and which includes the compiler's personal commentary about each link. I believe such a work would be protected. I'm not referring to minor "here are my links of the day" posts.
