It will also have an impact with just getting people to remove content that contains your mark/logo. Otherwise they are contributing to the infringement and can be liable.
any good lawyer knows that is a bit of stretch to extend this ruling to that extreme.

you should be ashamed of yourself for making such a stupid declaration here.

point to a case where the person is using the trademark to sell fake bags (no fair use defense whatsoever) and trying extend it one that does have fair use defensive arguements is patently irresponsible.

Unless your trying to scam to pay you large sums of money to fight out that dog of a case
in which case good for you take advantage of all the idiots on this board.
