Music Downloads
Though the RIAA and MPAA have done their part to make sure that most everyone even thinking about downloading music or movies from the Web rots away in a cold, dark cell (or, at the very least, is threatened with such), there are plenty of places on the Web where you can still get free, quality tunes.
