• Top Websites to Watch your Favorite TV Shows/Movies and Listen to Music for Free

  
  

  
  For years the television, movie, and music industry has been tracking users around the world for illegally downloading their stuff. We all know it scares us half to death to never to download or even buying any type of media again. We just cannot risk getting caught and going to jail or paying for thousands of dollars of fines.
  
  To be honest, I think we all agree that our money is better used on important things, such as rent. We're not rich, if we had the money we would have already paid for it!   
  
  Of course, some companies have not learned that it is the 21st century and the way to go for saving time and space is stored on a computer or a small media device. And still, they are hounding people for money as if we owe them something.
  
  Before we start bashing the RIAA and the MPAA here is a list that lets you watch TV/movies and listen music for free and legally:
  
  
  Watching Television shows or movies:
  
  Hulu.com
  
  

  
  

  
  As seen on the Super Bowl, their evil plot to make the computer the new idiot box is growing, and well, it's working. You can stream shows or movies right on your desktop.
  
  There is no such thing as free lunch, so there is advertisements between the shows and movies. However, it's even better than TV because the ads only last 15-30 seconds, instead of 3 minutes of commercials on the actual television. Sometimes they even let you choose to watch a long commercial and stream the rest of the video commercial free. It is a small price to pay to watch shows or movies legally. Most shows are online the day after the live broadcast.
  
  The other bad side about Hulu is, it only works in the United States.
  
  
  Fancast.com
  

  
  

  
  This website offers a little bit more television and movies than Hulu. You can watch more older television shows and movies streaming since more networks connected through this website.
  
  
  Music:
  
  Last.fm
  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  What I like about last.fm is that you watch some of the musician's performances, find the latest information about the artist, and listen to their albums on a playlist. After a while, they do make you sign up for an account to listen.
  
  musicovery.com
  

  
  

  I think this website is one of the best radio streaming websites ever. You pick a station that is based on your mood. This radio station is customizable to suit your taste in music. If there is a song you don't like you can remove it from your station.
  
  Pandora Radio
  
  

  
  

  
  One of the popular websites for radio, lets you choose an artist and it plays a list of music similar to the chosen artist or a straight playlist of the picked artist. It is one of the most popular applications on the iPhone or Touch.
  
  
  
  Yes, there are plenty of websites that allow you to watch the latest TV shows and movies and listen to music, but not all those websites are legal. Most of the time the video or song will be pulled for copyright infringement.
  
  What are some of your favorite websites to listen to music or watch TV/movies?
