IMSLP Forums

Folks, I've just added a transcription of a lute arrangement of Heinrich Isaac's 'Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen', written by Anonymous. I thought the best place would be the 'Arrangements and Transcriptions' page of http://imslp.org/wiki/Innsbruck_ich_muss_dich_lassen_(Isaac,_Heinrich) While editi...

Excellent, thanks! Now I know how it works

I don't see a difference between copyright issues with books and with music. If IMSLP can `survive' in Germany (from a legal point o...

What about moving IMSLP to a country in the European Community, for example Germany? At first sight, this might look insane, but on the other hand, chances are very low that something like the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act will happen here.
