Among the best legitimate sites for movies and music:

-- Legal Torrents ( http://www.legaltorrents.com/ ), which includes a wide selection of electronic music. It also has the Wired Magazine Creative Commons CD, which has songs from artists like the Beastie Boys who agreed to release some of their songs under a more permissive copyright that allows free distribution and remixing.

-- Torrentocracy ( http://torrentocracy.com/torrents/ ) has videos of the U.S. presidential debates and other political materials.

-- File Soup ( http://www.filesoup.com ) offers open-source software and freeware, music from artists whose labels don't belong to the Recording Industry Association of America trade group, and programs from public television stations like PBS or the BBC.

-- Etree ( http://bt.etree.org ) is for devotees of "trade-friendly" bands like Phish and the Dead, who encourage fans to share live recordings, usually in the form of large files that have been minimally compressed to maintain sound quality.

Yay. One of my favorite sites.

http://www.sharingthegroove.org used to be cool too, but I think it went down indefinitely.

If you're into the underground trance/techno/electronica/experimental music scene, there are literally weeks of good music under the open source audio archive at http://www.archive.org.

One of the best films available at legaltorrents.com I have as a DivX film. It's called "Panorama Ephemera" and is an experimental work that makes use of 60 or so old newsreel films, combining them in curious ways to come up with some profound meanings. It's a fascinating film for those with open-minded tastes, and I've got it at

\\tambora or \\131.151.188.23 under Film/Some Movies.

To the censors reading this post, keep in mind that Panorama Ephemera is an open source film and is entirely legal to distribute to anyone.

Also, for that music I was talking about, I have some good examples under

Music 2/kpu014
Music 2/kpu051
Music 2/kpu072

Enjoy. kpu072 is especially good, and, as I said, it's all open source.
