+
+ <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.

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

+ 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>.
