This article reveals the top sites where you can download completely free full-length movies, videos and mp3's for your iPod.
There are a fair few sites online that offer free videos and mp3's but most just contain lame second rate material.
I've tracked down some of the best sources for quality free movies,videos and music...
THE 'INTERNET ARCHIVE' The Internet Archive is an absolutely vast site packed with tonnes of public domain material you can download instantly and for free.
Public domain, if you have not heard of it before, is simply material that has lost it's copyright and so is freely available to anyone.
Public domain material, whilst free, is actually quite hard to track down. Probably because there is no profit incentive for anyone to provide a service for it all.
Even so, this site 'The Internet Archive' really does have it all...
Classic full-length movies, TV broadcasts, user-uploaded videos and more:

Read them for free on your iPod whilst listening to your favourite tunes:

When you think about it, it really makes sense to consider unsigned music...
It's almost always free and many of the big name artists started out that way so there really is fantastic quality unsigned music out there. You just need to know where to go for it.
For a huge database of free MP3s from unsigned artists covering all imaginable music types check out MacJams:
http://www.macjams.com/music/ This next site has some great bands and is particularly good for indie music. Their database is small in some genres but they are definitely worth checking out:
http://www.macidol.com/music/ Unsigned.com has some good artists as well, however, you do need to sign up for a free account before you can get their music:

This iPod downloads resource isn't strictly 100% free. There is a small one-time membership fee but after that all downloading is
100% free and so the membership fee quickly pays for itself and then starts paying *you* over and over again!
To be honest this resource eclipses them all. If you want full unrestricted access to a very large database of quality iPod ready movies, TV programs, videos, MP3's, iPod games and more this is the site you've been looking for:
Unlimited iPod Downloads Getting to grips with it all can be a little overwhelming at first but luckily their support is top notch.
They provide all the guides and help you'll need to make the most of their service, even going as far as providing step by step video tutorials.
All in all they are very newbie friendly.
Currently they've got more than three quarters of a million active users (which says it all) and they have over, get this, 95 million
media files available for you to download!
If you want to be able to stuff your iPod silly you'll definitely want to take a look at this service.
