Do you use KANOPY: the free library-based streaming service? [View all]

It's the best free source of progressive documentaries, movies of all kinds including great Indies, foreign films, and classic cinema.

I'm there every night, and still never reach my monthly quota (I got a second library card from another county just to be sure). Even if Netflix and Amazon Prime were free, I'd still be watching more Kanopy.
