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?

I addressed that when i talked about the public good, that level of anarchy is not in the best interest of the public

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.

Even my "crazy" interpretation of fair use give you more control than any other business is entitled to their creations. GM does get the right to tell you how you can USE their product once you buy it.
Extending fair use to the extreme i have argued for, still puts you in a superior position to every other business in america (at least in terms of government granted control).
