I'm sure I do not need to say it, but always check the usage licenses for sound, image and other multimedia are appropriate for the use for which you are going to put it.

Hey, Bruce. At risk of sounding preachy, it is something we need to remind ourselves about, so I'm glad you said it. Many of the free sites have restrictions, such as for personal use, not commercial use. Or, requirements like posting the source on the same page/slide where the clip is located.
I wrote a couple blog posts on this a while back. This one links to a story about someone who inadvertently infringed on someone else's intellectual property and got "called" on it.
