I can see a problem with that idea.

"I only infringed a little bit" is still infringing.  "I only
infringed a little bit, systematically, over a long period of time" is
asking for trouble.  To detect that a source is "protected" and still
choose to infringe sounds like an exquisitely bad idea.  Don't use
sources without permission.
