They cannot cite fair use when they have copied your content.

Depends on how much of your content they copy.

An entire page is blatant theft but a paragraph or a specific quote is probably fair use.

I'd be real careful because you can get sued if you damage someone that's working within the letter of the law and your use of the Google Emergency Removal tool against a site you don't own could get you in a heap of trouble.

I don't condone what these people do, but you need to be real careful and make sure you're interpreting what they did versus actual copyright law properly or you can end up on the short end of the stick.

Now if you must do some dirty deeds, at least use an elite proxy that completely masks the origin of the removal request ;)
