540 <h1>Does the gift you're giving your loved ones respect their rights?
</h1>
541 <p>When picking a gift this year, we urge you to think carefully about
542 the choice you're making. Is that smart assistant smart enough to
543 respect your friend or family member's rights? Does that tablet really
544 have their best interest in mind? Or does that shiny gadget come at a
545 cost much higher than its price tag?
</p>
546 <p>When we allow
<a href=
"https://gnu.org/proprietary">proprietary software
</a> created by Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Google, and countless other companies to handle our basic computing tasks, we put an enormous amount of power in their hands, power which they freely exploit. It's only through using
<a href=
"https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software
</a>, and
<a href=
"https://ryf.fsf.org">devices running free software
</a>, that we can seize this power back.
</p>
547 <h4>Freedom is the gift that keeps on giving
</h4>
548 <p>Letting your loved ones know that
549 you respect their privacy and freedom too much to cave in for the
550 newest Apple or Google product is a great gift in itself, and one that
551 you can feel good about.

634 <p>Why it's cool: Although it won't be released until Q2
2020, this phone
635 is one to keep an eye on. We're giving it a tentative recommendation
636 because the company has publicly committed to doing the right things
637 for prioritizing user freedom and privacy, and because we
<i>have
</i>
638 evaluated and endorsed the operating system it will run.
</p>
640 that many people around the world use a mobile phone as their only
641 Internet-enabled device, it's important to have confidence that your

</h5>
1154 <p>Despite the efforts of companies like Spotify, we can still dance to music in the free world. Thanks to the
<a href=

</a> highlighted on on our
<a href=
"https://www.defectivebydesign.org/guide/">Guide to DRM-free Living
</a>, the rights-respecting options are nearly endless. Check out music from great labels and artists, including:
</p>
1155 <li>All of the music on
<a href=
"https://bandcamp.com">Bandcamp
</a> is DRM-free and comes in a variety of formats, including patent-free ones like FLAC and Ogg Vorbis.
</li>
1156 <li><a href=

1161 <div class=
"good col-md-6 col-sm-6">
1163 <li>Stay away from: Spotify, Apple Music, and all other major streaming services
</li>
1164 <li>Spotify is only one of many offenders when it comes to putting DRM in music: all major streaming services do this, with the support of big record labels.
</li>
1165 <li>In addition to streaming music encumbered by DRM, people who want to use Spotify are required to install additional proprietary software. Even Spotify's client for GNU/Linux relies on proprietary software.
</li>
1166 <li><p>Apple Music is no better, and places heavy restrictions on the music streamed through the platform.

1181 <p>This year has brought us some disturbing
"advances

<a href=

"https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/10/22/disney-will-only-work-on-devices-that-support-the-strictest-widevine-l3-drm/">Disney+
</a>. Both companies have mandated the use of a hardware-level backdoor called Widevine, giving them permanent access into deep components of your machine.
</p>
1182 <p>Widevine prohibits these services from running on many older devices, as well as most computers running GNU/Linux, leaving families who can't afford a new computer or a new television out in the cold.
</p>
1183 <p>Try these video services and sites instead:
</p>
1185 <li>Visit the
<a href=
"https://archive.org/details/movies">Moving Internet Archive
</a> for free (as in freedom) classic films and art projects.
</li>
1186 <li>The
