Hm... I guess the phrase is kind of silly, but what I disagree with is your statement that fanfiction automatically is copyright infringement. I'm not an expert on copyright law, but as I understand it, there's a lot of grey area in the copyright law, and if you picked a bunch of fics at random, I think the law would find that the most or all of them don't violate copyright. Copyright = the right to copy, plus similar related rights. Works in their entirety are copyrighted, not ideas. So taking a passage from a book and using it in your fic would be copyright infringement. Putting up an episode of a TV show for download would be copyright infringement. But taking the characters from a movie and writing an original story about it using your own words is not necessarily copyright infringement. It could get into illegal territory, but for the vast majority of fanfiction, there is no money involved, and the fic author is not claiming to be the original writer or author, nor is the fic similar enough to the original work for it to be considered derivative, I think. (I'm not entirely sure, but my understanding is that derivative would be like taking a passage from a book and cutting out some sentences and changing up the names and pretending it's a new work, or mixing clips from several movies and calling it original.) In such a case, I think it would be really hard for an author to argue that their work's copyright was infringed upon, or even to care, since it's not like they're losing money from fanfiction being written for their work.
