Just wondering if anyone knows of any websites where one can obtain files o=
f nature recordings that don't have copyright restrictions? Basically, I'm =
after some good quality, clean audio of subjects like birds and / or cricke=
ts etc that I can use as background sounds to a video project that I'm work=
ing on. Evidentally, many audio recordings are protected by copyright and a=
re not allowed to be reproduced or broadcast so I'm wondering if there are =
any exceptions to this.
