By this logic there should no copyright protection in the first place for entertainment. Why should the government use law enforcement resources to track down people and take away their freedoms because they copied a movie?

Only because the government is already involved, protecting their interests, is there even anything to "take" in the first place.

The government shouldn’t use law enforcement resources to enforce copyright. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to file a civil suit for infringement. That doesn’t cost the government anything other than the general cost of having courts.
