Could someone provide a summary of the copyright tags? I assume that V/V/V means the score is safe to download, and U/U/U means it hasn't been checked, but I can't tell what the others mean. Or are we not supposed to know?

The tags designate the three major rubrics employed for calculating copyright terms. The first (leftmost) is for Canada and life-plus-50 countries, the second (middle) is for the USA (where most of our traffic originates), and the rightmost one is for the EU and life-plus-70 countries.

And what about the letter U, V, C, N, etc?

Unchecked, Verified, Checked (probably ok but not verified), Non-pd.
