if you want laws so strong that they could be abused to kill innovation, and fair use
because you need them to protect your legitimate business interests
then they should totally wipe out the scum bag copyright holders who try and abuse them to destroy legitimate competition.
as i said before

remember you completely blunt all of the objections to the bill by having such a clause

yes but only once, after that copyright holder will lose all copyrights and never be able to do it again.

the only people who object to such a balance are those people who know they are going to abuse the laws to kill competition and innovation.
If they truly believe the "fucked up" interpretation of fair use are not valid, then they shouldn't have a problem with rolling the dice because they know the courts would never accept them.
