Oddly, my sympathies with people hitting the roof over their copyright violations being removed are best expressed by http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Template:Boohoo .
Perhaps I've missed some important point about how said people are the future of encyclopedia production. I'd welcome detailed explanation, in small words with pictures.

But people don't. I've killed quite a colection of userpage copyvios. Most people are understanding.

Ok you have a user breaking copyright policy. You explain to them which part of policy they are breaking and if they ask why they we have this policy. They then remove the image. You now have a user that understands at least part of our copyright policy and understands that being polite and civil is the way we do things on wikipedia. Get it right and they may even help you deal with further copyvios. Most people want to be good editors. It is better to help them be good editors rather than trying to bludgen them into being good editors.
