Really? In my experience, the only thing we've learned from audio files is that the fastest way to start a flame war on gutvol-d is to post a whole bunch of audio files of PG texts in new numbers! :) Seriously, since these texts are specifically read from PG texts, posting them in a new number seems a waste to me, but I'm willing to listen to arguments for why that should be.

I believe that experience has shown that, in a case such as you mention below, it would work better to have an audio book posted under a new number.

Librivox (www.librivox.org) has quite a few audio readings taken from our texts. They are released to the public domain (no copyright on them at all).

My question is this:
Do we need to run a separete clearance request before posting audio files under the PG text number they came from?
For example, if I grabbed Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz (http://librivox.org/dorothy-and-the-wizard-in-oz-by-l-frank-baum/) and with David reposted it under our etext #420 (http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/420), do I need to first get a new clearance? (I'm planing on redoing the text as a TEI master at the same time, so we'll get TEI and PDF along with the existing file formats).
Thanks, Josh
