Orchestra To Turn Copyright-Free Classical Scores Into Copyright-Free Music

destinyland writes "An online music site has raised over $13,000 to hire a full orchestra to record royalty-free classical music. ('"Although the actual symphonies are long out of copyright, there is separate protection for every individual performance by an orchestra," notes one technology site.') MusOpen has reached their fundraising goal for both the orchestra and a recording facility, and will now record the complete symphonies of Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius and Tchaikovsky. And because their fundraising deadline doesn't end until Tuesday, they've promised to add additional recordings for every additional $1,000 raised."

    Sometimes ya just gotta do what ya gotta do!

    Go here and file a complaint. This is well-known as cross-discrimination and though what you did was rather gross, you in NO WAY should be punished for it. It is your body's NATURAL process of cleansing itself!! If your really lucky you should be able to sue and get a little money out of it! But if you do be sure to save it for college because college is around the corner and is getting really expensive hun!
