Thats an oxymoron.

Without sufficient Government regulation, you get to have private monopolies controlling the markets and that is much worse.
The basic truth is that arts should not be treated as commercial products in a market. Commercialism is sickening to most artists. Most artists recognize the deep feeling of sickness and unease when they always are forced by publishers to consider the marketing and commercial aspects of their artistic product and that the final cut on their creation always has to turn it into something that can sell and be profitable. Real Art is above all commercial market considerations.
