    Glen Beck - Surprising such a conservative voice would be on CNN, but this guy has a lot of interesting things to say about political candidates, border issues, freedom in America, and more. It was after I grew to like him that I found out he is Mormon.
    Grassfire
    Human Events Online
    Liberty Counsel
    Michelle Malkin
    Moore Lies
    Moore Watch
    The New American

    No Agenda.org

    9 Down

    Boycott RIAA - Take a stand against the recording industry. Very passionate, very vocal, and in my humble opinion, very relevant. These guys are, as the name says, strongly opposed to the tyrant, the RIAA.

    Cool P2P Software - List of P2P software, including some "darknet" (or anonymous) ones.
    Copyscape
    Creative Commons - A way to find pictures, sounds, text and video files, but I'm all are legally free. Not just a way to find free content, but also a way of life (or at least a way to share your work with others in a free way). You've heard of copyright. This is copyleft.
    Doom 9
    Downhill Battle - To quote the site, "Downhill Battle is a non-profit organization working to support participatory culture and build a fairer music industry." Lots of info and ways to to get involved.
    DRM Trainwrecks - Del.icio.us links to pages exemplifying why DRM is not good for the end user.
    File Sharing Place (and torrent searcher)
    Free Network Project - Strictly speaking, not a traditional P2P project. This is more about building an anonymous and scalable network that allows anyone to publish anything. I see this as the best hope of keeping the internet free (and freedom of speech available), if our government (USA) continues to strip away our rights.
    eBook Share - ebook torrent site. Mostly tech books.
    Info Anarchy
    Infringement FAQ - Common questions answered by Phoenix Labs for people worried about being accused of copyright infringement.

    The Pirate Bay - Torrent Search
    The Problem of Copyright
    Public Domain Torrents - For those who don't mind older movies and such, this site is a directory of films that have gone into the public domain. They are downloadable with a bit torrent client. These are usuall fast downloads, despite the size of the file. However, broadband is the best way to go. Interesting choices available for those who are interested.
    Public Knowledge
    Recording Industry vs. the People - Written on a blog, this site has tons of information about . . . well, the recording industry and their lack of respect for their customers.
    Respect Copyrights
    RIAA Radar
    R.I.G.H.T.S - Stands for Redistribution in Graphics Has Got To Stop. This is not a group, but a site with which to educate one's self about copyright law and respecting the works of others. Focuses on graphics, but can be applicable in many other ways.

    Anarchy
    Flag.Blackened.net - From the site: "run by individuals committed to the expression of free ideas; flag has provided free web space for anarchist thinkers since 1996."
    Kate Sharpley Library - Apparantly an unsung hero of anarchists, this site honors her memory by archiving a bunch of anarcy and anti-war texts.
    The Memory Hole - Anarchist-themed site that attempts to archive all sorts of documents not generally found on mainstream websites. This is not the same Memory Hole site that Russ Kick maintains.
