   The public has the freedom to purchase whatever recordings are produced, but that does not mean that the government may not limit the production

   If the government can limit was sort of recordings are produced, then we haven't achieved the "complete freedom of expression" the principle discussed.

   This starts off bad because it's talking about people who advocate complete freedom of speech, when the principle is not about advocates of freedom, it's about there actually being freedom. The 2nd ingredient is drifting towards the opposite, saying that we should not criticize depraved things. The principle says we can still criticize people for trying to make money off depraved things.
