Dave talked the manufacturers of the Stephen Fry Talking Clock into releasing their Stephen Fry samples as open, Creative Commons licensed clips:
You'll remember the internet going a bit gaga over the Stephen Fry Talking Clock a couple of months ago? Ever a sucker for Wodehousian wit in the mornings, I ordered one, but really wanted the actual samples so I could use them on my computer for a wake-up playlist. I contacted the clock's makers to suggest it, then talked them through how they might sell the samples ethically, with CC-licensing, and no DRM.
And they've gone and done it, as well as providing twenty free samples (in both Good Morning, Sir and Good Morning, Madam flavours), also CC licensed and DRM free.
(Thanks, Dave!)
