Copyright is the right to copy, not the right to have. You can get any author's works for free as long as you can get someone who owns a legit copy to give it to you (first sale doctrine), what you can't do is make copies of that work, except in specific fair use situations which is defined by the library of congress and the court system.
It may not be right but it is correct. Generally the government has to give you permission to sue them. The concept is call sovereign immunity.
