Freedom 0 (zero) if I remember rightly - the freedom to use for any purpose. I guess the problem is education - most people click "yes, do everything you possibly can to allow me to watch this popular thing NOW and don't even THINK about making me think about concepts or anything I want to be _entertained_ only". So Gary, how do we handle this problem of lack of educated thinkers? Cause that's the real problem as I see it.
