-
- <h2>Are you giving your loved ones holiday gifts they can use freely, or
- gifts which put someone else in control?</h2>
-
- <p>
- 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,
- <a href="http://www.defectivebydesign.org/node/2250">
- Amazon might even block all the books on their Kindle and refuse to explain why</a>.
- Companies want us to accept this kind of intrusive control,
- but when you think about, it's unethical (and annoying!).
- </p>
-
- <h2>Give freely</h2>
-
- <p>
- 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
- <a href="http://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a>,
- <a href="http://www.creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a>,
- <a href="http://wikimedia.org/">Wikimedia Foundation</a>,
- <a href="http://www.sfconservancy.org/">Software Freedom Conservancy</a>,
- <a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org/">Software Freedom Law Center</a>,
- <a href="http://www.gnome.org/">GNOME Foundation</a>
- and Free Software Foundation.

- <h2>The Free Software Foundation's Holiday Giving Guide</h2>

- The gifts in the left column respect your freedom much more than those in the right column.

- Please share <a href="#">the Giving Guide</a>

- To make a really big splash, get some friends together, print the PDF
- version of the Giving Guide and hand it out near a local store that
- sells DRM-encumbered products. Be sure to take photos! Send us photos
- and any questions at <a href="mailto:campaigns@fsf.org">campaigns@fsf.org</a>.
