Why are people against this idea?? Which is just a manifestation of freedom?

If you don't want to enter into a contract, then don't enter into the contract, by all means. But if you don't agree to the terms of the contract, you don't get the book. If walk into a restaurant, and don't agree to pay for a hamburger, I don't get a hamburger. I can't say "I don't agree to this contract, so give it to me anyway." What you propose isn't freedom, but serfdom. You would turn authors into your serfs.
