Great explanation of why software freedom is important. Send it to those who need it.

Uses car as an example... Amazing.

Also, the development argument is kinda mute for most people, since most people cannot use it anyway.
(and spying is even worse)

Try using THIS argument instead:
A free software allows each programmer to make a free feature working for EVERYONE FOREVER. All it takes is one programmer.

In my view, the car example is apt.

Everyone wants a Volkswagen bug: easy to maintain so that it runs forever.

Industry wants anything but "runs forever." They want you upgrading every seven years on the nose.

He does say you can ask your cousin or pay someone.

Another example argument: imagine if a hammer could only hammer certain screws, recorded impacts to the seller, needed royalties for chairs it made, and you couldn't even share it with friends.
