Hulu imvite

Hulu (USA only) is a web site launched in early 2008 that is built to stream TV and video free to users. Unlike many previous streaming video sites, which made illegal use of commercial properties from television and video, Hulu™ does everything entirely legally, appropriately licensing content from the copyright holders. It funds itself via online advertising, which runs both in sidebars on the site and also in shortclips either at the beginning of the video or at regular intervals during the viewing.

And then of course there is…..

YouTube youtube

YouTube, the most popular free video sharing Web site. It lets users upload, view, and share video clips. Users have uploaded many TV programs, but the copyright issues still have to be sorted out by new owner Google. A clear negative in terms of viewer experience is that the picture quality is mixed, often inferior. YouTube uses Flash technology, because it is preinstalled on over 90% of computers. It means that the videos will play without the user first having to download video software.

YouTube won’t let you download video to your computer, but there are ways to do it: how to download YouTube videos.
