Why can’t I upload my StoryCorps interview to www.entertonement.com/nationaldayoflistening?
If you recorded your interview with StoryCorps and signed a release form for your StoryCorps interview, you have the benefit of having your interview archived for many generations to come at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. StoryCorps interviews are logged, tagged for research purposes, and conducted in a professional studio environment. StoryCorps strongly encourages you to make copies of your interview for your friends and family, but discourages you from uploading your StoryCorps interview to any sites on the Internet, since we cannot currently provide a secure environment that protects your privacy, our copyright, and other concerns. If we seem overly cautious with StoryCorps interviews, it is because we must preserve them. Our protections do not apply to any audio files uploaded on the Internet, including www.entertonment.com. Self-recorded stories generated as part of Do-It-Yourself efforts such as the National Day of Listening are not “StoryCorps stories”
