CommonBits provides downloadable political media, including regular Daily Show excerpts (no worries, Jon Stewart says it’s cool). CommonFlix and CommonTunes collect freely available music and video and organize it by category, popularity, and age. Much of this content is distributed via BitTorrent, which provides for efficient, decentralized file sharing.
