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. Andrew On Wed, 16 Aug 2006, Joshua Hutchinson wrote:

I remember discussing this before, but I can't remember what the final word on it was.

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
