That's wonderful and all, but maybe basing copyright laws on what you anecdotally experience is at best irrelevant and at worst harmful. I would say laws should incorporate the benefit of the doubt to be just - assume that most people are law-abiding until evidence to the contrary is supplied.
Given your moral purity, I assume you've received permission to use that Dalek photo as your avatar (or are the person that took it). I don't expect a response on this, but it does make me think of what should be done about casual and inadvertent copyright infringement; I would think such people should be punished harshly to teach others to be more vigilant in monitoring their own behaviour.
