I categorize "free will" like tort law, not like physics. When you have "free will" for a choice, you're in a situation where you are able to commit a tort or a crime in the eyes of society.

It's far easier to answer questions about free will when you think of it in legal terms, and it matches up pretty well with your intuitions about things.
