  66                                 <h2>Are you giving your loved ones holiday gifts they can use freely, or
  67                                         gifts which put someone else in control?</h2>
  68
  69                                 <p>
  70                                         Electronics are popular gifts for the holidays, but people often overlook
  71                                         the restrictions that manufacturers slip under the wrapping paper.
  72                                         Companies like Microsoft and Apple can and will use Digital
  73                                         Restrictions Management (DRM) to prevent your loved ones from
  74                                         sharing apps on the laptop you got them or remixing the songs on
  75                                         their expensive new iPad. If the recipient of your gift is as
  76                                         unlucky as one woman last year,
  77                                         <a href="http://www.defectivebydesign.org/node/2250">
  78                                                 Amazon might even block all the books on their Kindle and refuse to explain why</a>.
  79                                                 Companies want us to accept this kind of intrusive control,
  80                                                 but when you think about, it's unethical (and annoying!).

  86                                         The good news is, for every device that uses DRM or has a remote
  87                                         "kill switch" like the Kindle, ethical companies have made a better
  88                                         one that doesn't, one that your loved ones will be free to enjoy however
  89                                          they wish. Here's a list of these smarter gifts, compared with their
  90                                          more well-known, but more restrictive alternatives. While you're
  91                                         reading, please remember that donating to a charity in your friend
  92                                         or family member's name is at least as meaningful as buying them
  93                                         an electronic device. Some of our favorite charities are the
