The best definition of a "free-rider" is someone who gets the benefits of a public good without bearing any of the burden. For example, someone who drives on a public road but does not pay any taxes or fees to maintain it is a free-rider.

is an example of the free rider problem, because the programs benefit everyone and many listen but not everyone pays for it.
