Al Jazeera Video Archive

Already leading the charge from traditional media, Al-Jazeera has broken new ground by putting stock footage available for download under the creative commons licence. It’s so called ‘repository’ currently holds plentiful (and harrowing) footage of December’s conflict in Gaza. A useful practice tool, if anything, in the art of knowing what distressing images to include and what to leave out.

Cost: free, with CC restrictions, although it does allow it’s content to be used for commercial purposes

Downsides: until Al-Jazeera expand the repository it just contains Gaza content.

DRM-free, free, Middle East, video

And it's free! Free as in beer!
