Free Legal Movies and TV Shows

Yes, the word that all college students love - free. Hulu.com, an online video site that is a collaboration between NBC and FOX, launched earlier this week. This is indeed a replacement for player that NBC was previously using to stream their TV shows online, but Hulu.com also features free full-length movies. Yes, you heard it right - now you can watch classics like Ice Age, The Big Lebowski, and October Sky in addition to your favorite TV shows House and Conan. Plus, they offer a "high resolution" mode, although it must be enabled manually.

Overall, it's a great service with unobtrusive ads - exactly a service that will attract college students away from the torrents. Way to go NBC.

Goodbye grades, future employment opportunities, and soul-crushing institutionalized education, hello immediate, non-judgmental, watered-down, gratifying entertainment. Cha-ching!
