Has anybody else here heard of the website LegalTorrents?
http://www.legaltorrents.com/
It has some really nice stuff on it.
One of the most interesting is 'Baen "Hell's Faire" eBook':
Contents of a freely re-distributable CD-ROM bundled with a hardback book from sci-fi publisher Baen - including over 20 eBooks in multiple formats, a full audiobook, other cool freebies - if you like 'em, go buy Baen books!
The books are good too. John Ringo, David Weber, authors like them. And it's got the "March Upcountry" series, which are some of my favorite books.

It also has Wired Magazine's Creative Commons-licensed CD, which has some pretty good stuff on it, and it's all licensed under Creative Commons so it can be freely distributed and you can sample it and remix it and stuff.

I'm liking that site quite a bit...

I've heard of it. There's also a torrent site (the name of which currently escapes me) which serves movies which are so old the copyrights have run out, so now in the public domain. It has movies such as "The Attack of the Fifty Foot Women" etc. Also, I believe the BBC is releasing all it's programs free for download/streaming to British license payers.
