Oh, I see. You aren't just a communist, but an anarchist too! You do realize that the government has a significant place in a democracy, a Republic and a capitalist country?

free market says that all products should compete without any government controls.

The idea of a completely free market not controlled by any law whatsoever is ridiculous and unworkable. Why not just close up the Federal, state and local governments, repeal all the laws and let people fight it out for survival like the classic Mel Gibson movie "The Road Warrior" under your premise?

The dictates of social responsibility dictate the government involvement to protect the PUBLIC good.

There is a public good in having laws that protect creative people and companies funding creative works and having them make money and a return on their investment just like any other business people.

In a true free market copyright would not be allowed to exist, in a socially responsible free market copyright would only allowed to exist as long as it does not infringe on things like free speech

There are no infringements on free speech by having people pay for what they use or consume.

Including such "insane" concepts of "this is the best dance routine i have every scene"
statements by the copyright holder that i am to stupid to figure out how to make money in a world where people could use my content in that concept would not be valid justifications for voiding the free speech.

Total non-sequiter, and in any case no one's free speech is being violated if they were not to have access to every piece of digital media for free.

Really want to tell my how many times I have said "that won't work in porn" when someone presented an example of a solution to the problem.

I have no issue with porn companies giving away their own content voluntarilly or surfers accessing free porn content with a valid license or porn studios trying crowd funding or any other alternative distribution methods that they want.

130 million dollars was raised by crowd funding this year by kickstarter alone.
let me guess "that won't work in porn"

Maybe it will, maybe I'll give it a try. Whether workable or not, it's still not a justification for any random person out there in the world to be able to access any content they like for free while the artists, creators and/or money men behind the work get nothing.
