there is no law against just making a bogus licience so not against the law

invalid -yes.

your trying to term of service away fair use

you only have the exclusive right because you agree to honor fair use, you can't turn around and use those exclusive rights to take away the bartered payment.

there wouldn't be any point in having fair use defined at all if the copyright holders rights allowed them to be TOS away.
