We can be strident in supporting fair use, legal and proper in supporting fair use, and still prefer and work to create free content. They are not mutually exclusive.
Then why was I deleting trivially replaceable non free images for rather a lot of last week? Are you seriously going to tell that since February 2006 no one has been in a position to make a pic of Pickled cucumber?
But those who say "oh, if we remove it, free content of equal value will just sprint forth to replace it" frustrate me to no end. It won't, in a lot of cases, because it can't.
Experience suggests otherwise and at present time there is no significant movement toward deleting all fair use material.
Seems like you're working to delete a lot of fair use material.
