Copyright and licenses

Good morning all,

First of all I’d like to agree wholeheartedly with Russell Woodford’s comments on copyright, as an owner of one of the biggest collection of wildlife pictures and sound combined in Australia.

Having read all these comments about sources of bird sound I feel I can’t remain silent any longer.

On my website www.graemechapman.com.au there are nearly 200 species of Australian birds (mainly songbirds – the interesting ones!) represented in my sound section (look under Resources – Index of birds in my library with recordings of bird calls). Many species have several examples and have an associated text as well – try starting at Crested Bellbird, you might even learn something. In all there is about 4 hours of sound, and counting! Selecting, editing and adding sound to the website involves an enormous amount of work, that’s why I’m only about half way through my sound collection. A few of these clips have been published before in the BOC collection – otherwise they are all published here for the first time and all recorded by me over a period of 50 years.

Why do I do it? I want it to be freely and easily available to everyone and not just die with me. If you hear any errors or have any suggestions I would welcome the feedback, so long as it doesn’t mean more work!

Regards
