2014 Holiday Giving Guide

- -

- Are you giving your loved ones holiday gifts they can - use freely, or gifts which put someone else in - control? -

- -

- Electronics are popular gifts for the holidays, but - people often overlook the restrictions that - manufacturers slip under the wrapping paper. Companies - like Microsoft and Apple can and will use Digital - Restrictions Management (DRM) to - prevent your loved ones from sharing apps on the - laptop you got them or remixing the songs on their - expensive new iPad. If the recipient of your gift - is as unlucky as one woman last year, - - - Amazon might even block all the books on their - Kindle and refuse to explain why - . - - Companies want us to accept this kind of intrusive - control, but when you think about, it's unethical - (and annoying!). -

- -

Give freely

- -

- The good news is, for every device that uses DRM or - has a remote "kill switch" like the Kindle, ethical - companies have made a better one that doesn't, one - that your loved ones will be free to enjoy however - they wish. Here's a list of these smarter gifts, - compared with their more well-known, but more - restrictive alternatives. While you're reading, please - remember that donating to a charity in your friend or - family member's name is at least as meaningful as - buying them an electronic device. Some of our favorite - charities are the - - - Electronic Frontier Foundation - , - - Creative Commons - , - - Wikimedia Foundation - , - - Software Freedom Conservancy - , - - Software Freedom Law Center, - GNOME Foundation - and - Free Software Foundation. -
