So do copyright laws enhance freedom or detract from it?

  If you assume the GP's position then that just boils down to whether or not intellectual property is property.

    That was my point, I should have been more explicit. Their definition of freedom was a simple one, of three parts: > 1. You respect property rights 2. You are allowed to speak your mind 3. You have a right to defend yourself This clearly doesn't give a full and objective account of what the word means, as I'm able to give an example which pits one of the parts against another, leaving us to make a judgement call.
