That should be "off the internet" not "of the internet"........

Subject: Blackbird songs: morphic resonance or genetic
library?
Well I had no idea what 'morphic resonance' meant either, though I think it
entirely reasonable that "there's a large library of songs genetically
embedded in all blackbirds, and this song happened to be used in the UK and
here about the same time." Yet I would be very confident that the bird
supposedly heard in that film would not have been there at all but the sound
bite was edited in post production from some recording at some other time
and place. Almost every film that wants a raptor sound from any raptor in
the world or even just trying to insert a wild type sound, will insert the
same sound track of the call of the American red-tailed hawk and almost any
frog scene will insert the "rivet" call of the whatever frog it is that
people who do that kind of film work, think that everyone thinks is the call
of all frogs. That is just what is done..... It is easier for them to source
cliché sound bites of the internet than record what is going on in the real
world.
