Your point about making it easier to go after infringing material has nothing to do with fair use. If you want to debate the pros and cons of that there are a lot here that would chime in but you are talking nonsense at the moment.

Also, please remove the copyrighted picture from your avatar.
Edit: I forgot that you claimed fair use on that from our last discussion.
