Use Goog|e to down|oad music
[For Educational Purposes]
You'll need:
-A web browser
Ever just need to quickly download a song for free?
1) Navigate to Goog|e
2) In the search bar type: intitle:index.of [This allows us to search for indexes, which are usually unprotected.]
3) After a space, type: -inurl:(shtml|html|htm|php|jsp) [This allows us to weed out some (not all) "junk" results.]
4) After a space, type: (mp3) [This is the type of file we want. You may add .wav's by typing (mp3|wav) instead.]
5) After a space, type song name in quotation marks. For example: "Joshua Tree"
6) Hit enter. Look for results that make sense. For instance, a result that mentions "U2" if we searched "Joshua tree" is very promising.
7) Click the result's "Cached" button. This will highlight the song title you inputted.
8) Right-click and save.
FU tl;dr Version
Paste: intitle:index.of "last modified" -inurl:(shtml|html|htm|php|jsp) (mp3) "song name" into Goog|e. Look for songs in the results.
*NOTE*
Some advertisers know about this method. You may run into a fake link taking you to commercial website. It's annoying but harmless.

Movies and Television To-Go
[For Educational Purposes]
This is a Mac walkthrough. Someone may post a Windows walkthrough in the comments.
You'll need:
A source for TV torrents. (We'll use http://eztv.it/)
A torrent client (We'll use Transmission) .
A Dropbox and it's Drop folder properly configured.
Say you're about to go on a trip, but you need your television fix to go. Before you leave:
1) Navigate to your favorite TV torrents source. Mine: http://eztv.it/
2) Find and download the torrent for your desired TV shows.
3) Open the torrent files with the Transmission app.
4) Open the Preferences from the top menu bar. (Transmission > Preferences)
5) Navigate to the "Transfers" window and set the default save location to your Dropbox Folder. (Click screencap below.)
6) Go on your trip/vacation, leaving your desktop on. Transmission will continue to download the files, and Dropbox will passively upload them.
8) After the downloads complete you can access your TV files from a laptop/public computer at http://www.dropbox.com/
More!
-Dropbox has apps for smart phones/ tablets. I know for a fact the Apple app store features Dropbox for iPhones/iPads. You could watch your favorite episodes anywhere off of the 3G connection.
-Dropbox's storage space can be expanded various ways. You can pay or recruit people to Dropbox for additional storage.
If you know an easier or better method leave a comment. Thanks.
**Edit**
-Blogger, Fang, suggests saving energy by setting a timer for sleep mode.
-Those of you who don't have a Mac, The Windows walkthrough would be the same with the exception of the Torrent client. Transmission is for Mac. Find and substitute a Windows counterpart. You should be able to achieve the same effect.
-To view TV shows on iOS enabled devices, You must correctly format the TV show's dimensions and file type.
