To what extent does this copyright reach, does it cover sound samples
incorporated into a game, that have been downloaded via anonymous ftp
from a sound sample archive? who owns the copyright on the sound of an
explosion? ;) - probably Bill Gates....
Majik.

If you download sound/graphics from a site archive, that site archive
should hold info on whose copyright it is; with many archives, the data
is freely available, ie it's not anyone's copyright and you can just use
it.

     It's one of the main pieces of info suhc an archive site will provide,
so it should be listed on the main page.
