So, what you're saying, is that there cannot be a paid web browser (I dunno, Opera before it was free), since it might infringe on websites non-commercial licenses? I mean, the page is there, and you're making money from a browser!
How about those little reading lamps that you can use at night to read books. Even free books. Someone is profiting from free! Reading lamps are paid for, and so they're freeloading from the writers' work!
Yeah, it's not like there's the possibility for someone to LIE and say you libel them. And since you didn't libel them, there's no way to PROVE a negative (hey guys, here's the video where I clearly am NOT LIBELING! in fact, in this video I'm buying a newspaper in some random street! yeah!)
So, according to you, if the company that monopolizes a patent sucks, well, tough luck humanity! I guess we don't need those artificial life thingies after all.
Remember that time when the first timepiece design was patented? Yeah, that company wasn't able to do anything with its patent since the owners were fighting all the time and spending their money on booze. However, no other company could do it, since it was patented! It's a good thing nobody really needed clocks or watches, we can watch the sunrise and sunset and guess the time from that!
Owning guns don't make people shoot each other because not doing so would mean that they "forfeit their gun or their gun becomes generic". In fact, a patent would be just the blueprints for the gun. Can you shoot a people with a blueprint? No. Can you sue someone over a patent? Yes.
"Speaking generally, legal academics that "are considered some of the foremost leaders in the field on fair use" often have a broader idea of what is or should be fair use than judges do (whose opinions actually matter)."
