Need 'legal' music for your video?

So let's say you're working on your latest greatest video art-tastic creation and you want to show it all around the world in all the big festivals, but you don't have access to music because all the music you have at your disposal is copyright controlled. What does one do? Oh, the rage...

Well, you could go to Open Media's comprehensive list (the Open Media Directory) of places to get public domain, copyleft, and open copyright music to accompany your images. This directory brings together sites from all over the world, including some, like Internet Archive, that are virtual libraries of accessible materials (including films, videos, books, and more). The directory even lists public domain torrent sites and Creative Commons-licensed p2p.

As for the rest of Open Media, well you're looking at a site that calls itself "The Global Home for Grassroots Media." Looks like another typically idealistic, hippies & granola media project, but I'm sure you'll find something of interest there.
