Also \most of it is movie and audio fragments.  I would think it would 
be difficult to argue that you are stealing media when using a 5 second 
section of a movie for software testing... but then we do live in 
strange times.

One thing I do like about that site is they have a collection of files 
that are broken... or at least form in "interesting" ways. Those kind of 
files can only be found "in the wild" and are great for error testing.
