No, this is wrong. Simply by writing anything (as long as he didn't steal it himself) The Virgin has copyright to whatever he writes and posts. He posted it on a public forum so anybody can quote it and then they have copyright of their own post (including the quote as part of the writing as long as it clearly cites someone else's writing).
What you can't do legally is take The Virgin's post and claim it as your own writing like
some asshole did with one of my threads right here.
I think you're thinking of patent law which says that you can invent an object or system and make it public and retain your ownership right to it by having the words "patent pending" included in every iteration of what you made.
