A Repository for Multimedia in the Public Domain?

8tim8 asks: "I was looking through my uni's record library yesterday (where they have lots of old jazz records) and it made me wonder, Is there anything like Project Gutenberg for audio or video files? I'm not talking about just a place to download old audio or video files, I'm talking about somewhere that has lots of old broadcasts/movies, and has actually checked to verify that what they have is in the public domain. It seems like there must be lots of stuff in the public domain...is there a place that let's people access it?"

My daughter says you can get all sorts of new music and movies for free off the Internet. At least, that's what I'm getting ready to tell the RIAA in court next week.

Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
