So. My subconscious boiled it down to this over the course of the evening. Does freedom mean freedom to do whatever you want or freedom to live amicably within society? Or what should it mean?

Consider this definition lifted using Google:

A private nuisance is a civil wrong; it is the unreasonable, unwarranted, or unlawful use of one's property in a manner that substantially interferes with the enjoyment or use of another individual's property, without an actual TRESPASS or physical invasion to the land.

(This concept comes from really old English common law. And being a civil wrong an injunction may issue. Though in practice not so clear when you add facts, circumstances, expert opinions and weigh competing interests.)

Which explains a lot.
