Complete Mozart Works Now Free

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday December 13, 2006 @02:13PM from the eine-kleine-internet-nachtmusik dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozart's year-long 250th birthday party is ending on a high note with the musical scores of his complete works available for the first time free on the Internet. Although most classical music is obviously too old to be under copyright, the rights to specific editions of pieces are owned by the publishers. Now, the International Mozart Foundation has acquired the right to publish the prestigious New Mozart Edition of every Mozart work on the internet. The response has been so overwhelming that the Foundation has been forced to increase their server capacity."

Because of course, no one would ever put non-music files on bittorrent.

It'd make the interblag divide by zero.

He meant putting torrents of the music (printed) files on the site. Dimwit. What... the... fuck... are you talking about? Someone said "duh, there is a torrent" and linked to a torrent of a collection of ripped MP3s from the Philips library. The post you're responding to said "hey, this isn't about MP3s, it's the musical composition itself" and you're calling him a dimwit for basically agreeing with you. Fucking stupid people like you should be taken out back and shot repeatedly in the asshole.
