I have no idea what your talking about with respect to doing pro bono work. My work ends up on websites with or without my permission, and it's certainly not pro bono.

After all, I'm sure you oppose car theft and also support law enforcement against car theft. You don't go around saying, "Any attempt to punish car thieves MUST lead to a violation of the rights of us all."

The above reasoning is exactly what I'm talking about, the "If you're not with us, you're against us" line of reasoning. There's no particular logical reason why I
must imagine some new regime that carefully balances the needs of copyright holders and the public just to comment on copyright that goes too far. Of course, I have already suggested a process I would find acceptable - i.e. that websites not be censored without the website owner being given the opportunity to present arguments and certainly not without a judge balancing the harm of censorship against the harm that the site causes.
The suggestion that I'm a secret pirate because I don't support the UK approach is a little embarrassing. As for your analogy, well it's a clear example of the false analogy fallacy.
