But I'm glad I was wrong!

You guys rock.... I tested out your donation page... it works!... Everybody else (who isn't contributing otherwise) should drop by. BTW, how do I know you got the money?

Thanks again,
Bobby

As I have no scores to contribute I guess all I can do is offer up some dough. How does one go about contributing money to the project?

So I don't understand this tack. I don't understand why the scores can't be at Gutenburg and every single other site that will have them... there is no reason to be exclusive. I would like to know how you plan to mirror IMSLP, because IMSLP is not a static bunch of scores, and mirroring is hard unl...

My point is, and I think F might have agreed with me, if you threaten their income stream, and imslp does, they are going to do what they have to to protect it. Last October that meant sending a letter. That's working for now. Next time they'll sue. And that's that. Don't be thinking these people ha...

I don't understand why imslp needs that kind of money... Are we talking about potential legal fees? I used to be a student too-- I didn't enter into endevours that demanded that kind of resources... so I've got to wonder about that figure... I'm really in the dark about alot of what's going on at im...

F - Thanks for your response and please accept my apologies as well... My concern after reading your post -- I'm fairly certain that if you jump through these hoops to appease UE they, or another, will still end up suing you... They might not win, but that isn't their goal. Their goal is acheived by...

When I posted more politely you ignored me. And you still haven't addressed the points. Why do it this way? Why take it away without warning? Why wait until you've reviewd all of the docs before you start posting? Why ignore offers of help from other pd sites? Why get personl when you get asked ques...

All we have to do is send out a couple of letters and the primary source of us NOT being able to extract userous streams of income off of public domain scores folds for what will end up being a year. What could possibly your reason for bringing down the whole site, with no notice.... and then keepin...

Did you catch this? http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/02/12/tech-copyright.html Off topic, apropos of nothing, and totally my opinion: 1. Universal Edition and their ilk know that it is just a matter of time till they can't make any money of PD. 2. Their strategy now is to make the stream last...

Yagan, Thanks for your response. I do not intend to rant or argue with you, only to respond to your point. Please excuse this post if it gives that impression. I will make these last points and will leave it to others to post their opinion. Again, i recognize the effort and service that the develope...

All- I am appreciative and thankful for all of the effort, ideas risks etc... of the imslp guys. However, there are some things in the database i'd personally like to get. My question: Since we agree that all of the is in the public domain, why can't you give up control of the shared resource (the s...
