Look through most any RSS SITES LIST FEEDS and you will find loads of media sites and since these are also a great source of finding FREE MEDIA DOWNLOADS then go and do sownloading....
ALSO If you have REALONE [realaudio] on your computer it might pop up asking you to download the movie or tv show you are watching or any media file you are playing.
you might also want to download a good FREEWARE AUDIO / VIDEO CONVERTER PROGRAM to conver from REALONE to other file formats.
But these are some great sites to start....

ALSO http://archive.org === THIS site will have loads of FREE MUSIC & PUBLIC DOMAIN FREE MOVIES. Now how did FULL FEATURED FILMS MAKE THE PUBLIC DOMAIN LIST? Many were released without any COPYRIGHT NOTICES ON THEM.... So no one can tell who owns it. MANY OTHERS were donated by the owners.
AND check out THE WAYBACK MACHINE..... [if the site had small files like MIDI and other small media files not only did the robot copy the pages BUT IT ALSO COPIED THE ENTIRE SITE]
Now get going and have a happy time downloading all the FREE MEDIA OUT THERE.....
