Letters to my copyright infringers

If someone is hosting an actually infringing image elsewhere, but using your site to display it, it seems to me that you're at least complicit, and at worst a sort of fence.

If someone sends a polite, specific, with-links-and-supporting-documentation email, don't you think it might be fair to remove the link, if not the post?

You should reread the comment you're replying to.

So you think I can infringe someone's copyright by pointing at a book??

I don't think it's particularly unfair to do it the way that I'm doing it. As 'fair' as it would be to remove the links for display, the counter argument to that is that I'm not infringing the right of free speech of a member of my sites, and I see that as a threat to one's civil liberties that I won't tread upon without being ordered to by the court.
