Sibelius 6 Songs, Op.86 wrongly locked
Despite being published 90 years ago it's still locked. Why?
Re: Sibelius 6 Songs, Op.86 wrongly locked
Composer died in 1957, so under copyright in the EU until 1 Jan. 2028. Anything published after 1922 is subject to a US copyright term of date of publication plus 95 years, running to the end of the year; this item's term in that country will expire 1 Jan. 2019. Since the corporate entity that owns IMSLP is located in the US, allowing US-copyrighted files to be accessed through its main servers - even though they're physically located in Canada - would be a violation of US law.
