How do I do it

Photoshop is just an example showing how people are short sighted by trading their right to freedom for convenience. People do not live in freedom when accepting proprietary software.

Another example I could have used would be for any recent history computer game. Let's say I own a Sun Ultra 45 workstation. Let's say I run FreeBSD on this system. By all means, this system has enough number crunching abilities to run a copy of The Sims. I cannot run it because of EA's policy of user subjugation. They dictate how the program should be run and I must either accept or reject it. If the program was free, I could invest my money into changing the code to make it work on my system.

With regards to the Sims, I cannot live in freedom as I am helpless to help myself.
