Mass distribution of works that fall outside of fair use is piracy and should be punished.

agreed
all i am saying is if you don't apply a penalty when a scum sucking copyright holder misrepresents fair use as infringement and abuses the laws to take out free speech or hurt innovation.
making those scum bags and only those scum bags give up their copyright forever (and therefore their ability to abuse the law again) is totally fair.
so explain if you are perfectly willing to respect fair use, why do you want to protect the scum bag copyright holders who are going to deliberately abuse the law to destroy free speech, and innovation.
remember you completely blunt all of the objections to the bill by having such a clause
if someone says in can be abused to .....
yes but only once, after that copyright holder will lose all copyrights and never be able to do it again.
Every other copyright holder will know the penalty and be very very careful to never abuse free speech.
