I might have they right to get the source code, it is not possible
to find it, nor on the cd bundled with a product, nor on the 
companies website
nor is it specified that it could be downloaded on the project's 
homepage
(if used unmodified).
I ask politely on the various contact addresses on the  product's box 
and
on the company's website, tough nobody answers thusly de facto 
eroding my
right to get the source code, unless I start some kind of legal 
action.
I want to exercise my right, but this right is negated so I have to 
defend it.

No, you clearly don't. You care only by people that are in clear
situations, not the ones in the situation that I've described 
multiple
times now, that even though *they are complying*, they are forced to
avoid your software.

But I'm not going to waste any more breath trying to make you
understand the situation.

Riiight. I might have the right to own a gun, but I've never owned
one, is my right eroding right now? No. Even if nobody in the 
country
owns a gun, as long as it's in the law, the right is protected. It's
only when the government threatens to change the law that the right 
is
*actually* threatened. Nobody has threatened copyleft, there's no 
need
to fight for it.

*Exercising* a right is different from defending it, you go ahead 
and
exercise it if you want, it's your choice. Fighting for it is a
different matter.
