Yea it is very pointless, but I have it on my profile because of people that get pissed off over the most trivial stuff..

Yes. Unless you have pots of money to burn in legal fees. And even then - you won't win.

If you are worried about privacy - don't post any photos online. Ever.

"Sadly yes. And unenforceable.

Totally pointless placing the statement as the copyright of your profile text and pictures does not require it, but it actually IS enforceable if your willing to face the upfront legal expense and potential embarrassment.

you own the copyright for any pics you take so fabs maybe at fault if they allow pics to be posted by people who do not own the photo

It's a handy gauge to someone's gullibility.

Fabs T&Cs indemnify them against that. They have no ability to prevent someone copying your images or text. They would never be held responsible.

I saw a mock though, someone saying "If you want to wank over my pictures go ahead but I think there are better ones!" instead of the disclaimer. Thought it was funny :P

Yes and if anything possibly counterproductive. By putting the disclaimer on you have shown you are clearly aware of the possible risks of posting pictures on-line and, as such, closed of any possibility of pursuing a claim against the site or pretty much anyone else on those lines.
