i have tried by mail, but maybe here is a better place for my request:
dear mr.guo,
i am the developer for a project, that tries to collect and merge music-related information from sources as musicbrainz.org, discogs.com and others.
all these sources lack information about classical *works*, that you have collected.
i have tried to rip your page and found, that it is not allowed (i would have contacted you anyway before using the content, but i wanted to evaluate first).
so here is my request:
please allow me to rip parts of your site. what i need are 'only' the composer- and the work-pages (definitely *not* the scores).
what i can offer in return:
- a complete database (mysql or postgres) with all composers and works, with main data and categories (would enable you to do things like an API and smart searches).
- musicbrainz-ids for the composers (can be used to link either to musicbrainz or to bbc [http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/1f9d ... 5373b7eac9])
- wikipedia links for the works (all that can be identified, either because the wikipedia articles have a link to imslp, or by other means)
- a link to imslp on the credits page
- add a link to imslp wherever it makes sense (composer page, release page).
the project is commercial (selling mp3. budget is low, enthusiasm high ).
please let me know if you think, that a collaboration is possible.
best regards
ivo
