seriously what exactly about the statement

just make sure to protect the right of copyright holders to steal from competitors by giving them a free pass when they misrepresent fair use as infringing action

we are only talking about the situation where the business is covered by fair use
and the copyright holder choose to lie and misrepresent it as infringement to take out that fair use business.
(ie fox who owns myspace, making up fake complaints against parodies, or commentaries on facebook to take them out)
that the only situation i am talking about
when a copyright holder bald face lies to take out a company which they view as a threat to their site
you said even in this situation the copyright holder should have the transactional immunity you quoted
and keep his copyright so that he can do this as often as he wants.
