Comprehensive Guide to Legal Online Content: Books, Movies, TVMusic Platforms

WELCOME TO THE ONLINE CONTENT LEGAL SOURCES GUIDE

Pursuant to the Higher Education Opportunity Act, institutions must provide legal alternatives for users who seek access to unauthorized downloads. Below you will find a curated list of approved online platforms orsed by the Association of American Publishers AAP, Motion Picture Association of America MPAA, and Recording Industry Association of America RIAA. This guide serves as an impartial directory; no orsement or assessment is implied.
