Podsafe Audio
Copyright violations are another area of concern for the podcaster. You cannot use the creative work of another person without their permission. You cannot use commercial music from artists such as the Beatles, Celine Dion, or Bruce Springsteen in your podcast or videocast. Music that you hear on your FM radio is almost always off limits for the average podcaster. This has lead to an explosion of interest in “Podsafe Music” Below is a list of sites that offer various music and audio for producers to use in their podcasts.
