Slashdot Mirror
Provider of Free Public Domain Music Re-Opens
Chip Zoller writes "This community took note when the International Music Score Library Project shut down last October, and when Project Gutenberg stepped in to help three days later. I would like to alert you all that our site, IMSLP, has re-opened to the public for good after a 10-month hiatus. All the news updates in the interim can be found linked to the main page. We take great pride in re-opening as it demonstrates our willpower to make the masterpieces of history free to the world; and moreover to make manifest that we will not be bullied by publishers sporting outrageous claims of copyright in a country where they clearly are expired."
the ensuing slashdot effect will take it offline for another ten months.
But where's all the Metallica?
now.. to get sheet music for a lot of newer music.. and a Google search function to find songs based on note strings.. That way you can figure out that title of that one song that's always stuck in your head.. and all you remember is something like "na na na na NAAAA na na na na" lol
Defective Logic
If it were possible, the recording industry would sue you for breathing.
Of course! That violates the copyright on The Police's "Every Breath You Take" and Pink Floyd's "Breathe."
:-(
I really can imagine the folks at RIAA humming "Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you" as they're running deep packet inspections. Kinda creepy to think of that song as an NSA-FISA surveillance theme song.
I always feel like somebody's watchin' meeeee...
you don't, but this gives you the source with which you can make an mp3 and upload it for the rest of us...
Donald 'Duck' Dunn: We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.
Now go and listen closely to 'Don't Stand So Close To Me' ;-)
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.
What creeps me out is that the topic of "Every breath you take" is simply and plainly stalking.
Now go and listen closely to 'Don't Stand So Close To Me' ;-)
Yeah, someone should go call the Police.
Do it yourself, because no one else will do it yourself. [beta blockade 10-17 Feb]
Of course! That violates the copyright on The Police's "Every Breath You Take" and Pink Floyd's "Breathe."
Yeah. Occasional breathing would come under fair use as a public performance, but when you're doing it 24/7 then that's taking the proverbial biscuit. People should find a new way of oxygenating their blood instead of being a bunch of damn hippy copyright thieving pirates.
which is totally what she said
That must be "Hey Jude" by The Beattles.
What sig ?
They could organize a Sting.
My turnips listen for the soft cry of your love

No offense, but I've stopped responding to AC's.
I dunno, when I have had girlfriends I didn't pretend they were balloons when kissing them.. could be fun though!

Pro tip: there's a difference between kissing and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
