The largest reason, I think, why CoolCat's assertion did not help was that this user has been found to have violated copyright before. "Assume good faith until burned", I guess.
I've seen CoolCat repeatedly accused of copyright infringement but the ones I've reviewed I've found that those accusations lacked substance. He's involved in one of the more contentious edit wars (Kurd issues in Turkey) that we have running right now and there are some people who will stoop to underhanded techniques to "win". Apparently, alleging copyright infringement is a very effective technique to silence your opponents. And it seems that we're playing right into that strategy.
