Free for Churches

"The UK's on-line library for creative Christian audio"

Great Christian audio! This is quality stuff - created for radio broadcast but free for church use. There is a moderately lengthy registration form required, but it's worth it.

Some great contemporary songs for worship from the Salvation Army. MP3s, words, chords, and even music videos - all free for use in worship! (other uses require additional permission)

over 20,000 (and growing) Creative Commons licensed sounds

a great tool for webmasters with all sorts of graphics, sounds, and fonts - great for websites but for other uses too

That's right, over 750 (and growing) movies that are free for you to use, mostly because they were made before copyright lasted (for what seems like) forever! Please note: at least a few of these movies are mistakenly included and are still under copyright. It is your responsibility to not download these movies.

You will need the (free) program bittorrent to get the movies. You can download it at: http://www.bittorrent.com/
