poetry foundation is a great site. i convert some youtubes to mp3. i do get pissed at times though, quite a few sites sell leaves of grass for a big price, yet the works are public domain. basically they hire someone for a few bob to read a few books and then make millions. site like the internet archive should get funding to pat good speakers to capture the worlds rich culture of poetry in sound. they do a good job but a few grants would make a big difference. i did buy a waterstone version and broke it up when i realised how they and others capitalize on such works. poets in copyright is fair enough but public domain work should stay that way and big media companies would do well to promote such things for free downloads.
