- <h1>Are you giving your loved ones tech gifts they can use freely?</h1>
- <h4>Or gifts which put someone else in control?</h4>
- <p>
- Electronics are popular gifts, but people often overlook the restrictions that manufacturers slip under the wrapping paper. From remote deletion of files to harsh rules about copying and sharing, some gifts take more than they give.
- </p>
- <h4>More ethical options</h4>
- <p>
- The good news is that there are ethical companies making better devices that your loved ones can enjoy with freedom and privacy. This is the Free Software Foundation's guide to smarter gift giving, compared with their restrictive counterparts.
- </p>
+ <h1>Give the gift of freedom!</h1>
+
+ <p>A new phone or computer can be the highlight of the holidays, but with proprietary software lurking under the wrapping paper, your thoughtful gift may be more naughty than nice.</p>
+<p>This guide replaces these holiday humbugs with better devices from ethical companies -- no creepy remote deletion of files, no punitive and mean rules about copying and sharing. Just products and software that respect the freedom and privacy of your loved ones: gifts you can feel good about.</p>
+<p>Plus, our crib notes below will help you explain why this version is better than the one they've heard of (and spread the word about software freedom, too).</p>

+ <h5 class="text-center">Stay away from: Spotify</h5>
+ <p>DRM is the unfortunate standard for so much major-label music that's available today. While Spotify certainly isn't the only offender, they're the one we are choosing to highlight.</p>
+ <p>In addition to streaming music encumbered by DRM, people who want to use Spotify are required to install additional proprietary software. <a href="https://www.spotify.com/us/download/linux/">Spotify's build for GNU/Linux</a> is available as a Debian package that requires Debian non-free and comes with "<a href="https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages">onerous license conditions</a>."</p>
