No, EA charges for DLC. Their current online pass is only for online multiplayer functionality. Before DLC, EA would have put the content that is missing in Tiger Woods 12 on the disc at no additional cost, but today they are increasingly ripping off people in the hopes to increase their bottom line. If all DLC were to be free, then companies most likely wouldn't abuse it.
My idea (which you didn't quite understand) isn't the ideal scenario anyway, but it's far more consumer friendly than the current DLC practices while still helping companies on their mission to prevent people from selling their games back to the stores.

Your idea, is the same thing EA has done for the battlefield games, dante's inferno, dead space, and even mass effect and a ton more. They sell the special edition (which only last about a month) and then anything after does not include the free dlc. The online pass only affects people who buy used and even then it includes a free 2 day trial so that you can return the game before its a final purchase (all used games have a week long money back guarantee).

The special editions sell at a higher price than the regular editions of their games. I could be wrong, but I think that's the case. So the DLC you get for "free" is something you actually paid for, but I proposed that DLC should be free while games are still sold at standard price.

No, the special editions are 60$ and all copies of the game have "special edition" labeled on them until about a month. Take Dead Space 2 for example. PS3 owners that purchased the game early got the Special edition that included Dead Space Extraction as a download code. All ps3 copies of the game have dead space extraction till about a month or so and then you have to buy normal editions of the game. Used copies did not include extraction obviously.
