These human activities can interconnect and depend on other activities. Because essentially based on voluntary work the free culture depends on time and money. So it evolves tossed about by its dependencies: free time, charity, patronage, grants, etc. However dependency is opposed to freedom, so contradictory to this culture that defines itself as free. But worth that being dependent with other activities, it also can be in conflict, as it is the case with the entertainment industry. This conflict is the result of a legislative and technical liberty killer oppression lead by the industry against the Internet users. This is a second contradiction with free culture.

To be up to its freedom ideals, free culture must seek solutions to face these interconnections that can be restricting, or even harmful. By developing activities for its dependencies, regarding time and money the professionalization seems to be an asset, and by finding a system to coexist with the conflicting activities, or compatibility indeed.
