1. Means of justification for a purchase. Everything is free if you think about it, because you aren't paying for a product, you're paying for someone to give it to you, so if you mentally cut the middle man (seller) out, you basically bought
something for free.
2. Refers to stealing
something. The people selling the product is the middle man, and by simply
cutting out the middle man, everything magically becomes free.
