- -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. -
