Maybe there's a reason for that? did you ever think of that?
And everyone involved in IMSLP (at least you two, Juji and you AW7) seem to be really touchy whenever the name IMSLP comes up!
I'm all up to support IMSLP, even donate money if needed! But the fact for me still remains that "you" took advantage of the UE situation to shut the site down. I find this wrong, plainly put, since it's misleading. The site shut down, not because of legal threats but because the burden was too much. The whole situation took SO MUCH publishity only because UE was a part of it and the whole "poor little IMSLP was shut down by giant eveil cooperation" style! Well guess what??!? The site shut down because the main admins were too tired and had too much to do on their hands! which is PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE for me:
Take the site down, fix what is there to fix, automate the whole site and bring it back up. Problem solved. All this story with UE? Unacceptable imho! You did it, so swim in it now!
(The "you" is anyone responsible for IMSLP, or not, not Juji, or AW7 personally)
Unless I'm misreading something or misunderstanding something, in both which cases, honestly explain to me. Cause I've been to the IMSLP forums plenty of times, and this is what I saw!
As for IMSLP: Fucking amazing site! I'd like to see it tomorrow up. But I know that it's not possible and that you need to work REALLY hard in order to make things happen better and avoid any complications for the future. So take your time, do things right, remember that people loved and needed the site and still do (love and need).
Does this answer your questions?
