Bartok String Quartets

Post by GoldenHanson »

Hey there,

Some String Quartets by Bartok are Non-PD for US and EU, while mentionned that they are PD in Canada.

I'm from Canada and can't get the score from the site, saying that they are Non-PD.

Is there anything I can do ?

No, not really, except for buy them. IMSLP's server is in the US, so it can't unblock the ones that are still under copyright.

That's not really accurate. IMSLP's principal server is in Canada, but the corporate entity which owns the site (Project Petrucci LLC) is located in the USA. Therefore we have to abide by US law and Canadian law. We're working hard on setting up an IMSLP.asia server - owned independently like the IMSLP.eu. This will at long least release all the prisoners locked up with the infamous [TB] - which includes the Bartok quartets (which are indeed free in Canada).
