how many scores do you own

I did not mean digital, but real books. This topic is also a bit about the effort you take to buy and get one. Because everybody can download...

Very true. Yes, while everyone can download, not all scores are easily available in ones area. For instance, some of the rarer sacred music of Mozart. I've been to music stores in Chicago that purportedly had these gems BUT found none. So, I exhaustively search various online libraries for the rare works - these aren't always free to download either. In fact, of my online collection, only about 10% was free.

Very, very true. And they've been accessible online (with cost and without) for a good 10 years or so!

Indeed. But before IMSLP exploded in size, the idea of "digital scores online" was relatively obscure. I'd venture to say its mainstream now. Which is exactly why publishers tried to shut it down.
