If you want to disagree with the value, that's one thing. Not being able to recognize it is an intellectual failing (literally re-cognize, i.e. understand a concept, whether or not you think it's valid or important). Let me help you out: if I have a computer and there exists software that I could privately run for my own purposes and the computer is set up to not allow me to run that software I want to run, then I am lacking some freedom to use my own computer fully. Or say I want to copy some software from one computer to another but someone has legally or technically put barriers to my ability to do that. These are not an artificial constructs, they are as plain as any concept of freedom can be.
