But there still remains something that I still don't understand. IMSLP does not break any legal matters since the uploaders check when the score was published and that there must be x amount of years that has gone before one can 'spread' them. What puzzles me is:

Don't other publishers loose a crap load of money? I mean the music doesn't change, it is not like the notes change it is practically the same score but different publishers. So don't publishers loose a lot of money although this act is 100% legal?

Yes.

Actually, most of the stuff I find on there that I actually want to perform I end up buying anyways. There isn't much for oboe on there, and the stuff that I want to perform on piano that is one there, when I print it off, the paper is flimsy and doesn't stand up well on a piano. I usually have to go out and buy a book with the piece in it, or a published version of the piece on sturdy manuscript paper material stuff so it isn't falling off into my face every 10 seconds.

Get some better paper...
...or print on card
Or put it in a three ring binder' date=' I have printed off tons of music from various things, and it's pretty much all in a couple of binders.[/quote']

Yupyup. :laugh: I don't know where you get your paper or your music stands, but I've never had a single problem.

IMSLP IS SHUT DOWN, FORCED TO CEASE AND DESIST BY UNIVERSAL EDITION

Go to the website and you will see the letter, here's a small bit...

"On Saturday October 13, 2007, I received a second Cease and Desist letter from Universal Edition. At first I thought this letter would be similar in content to the first Cease and Desist letter I received in August. However, after lengthy discussions with very knowledgeable lawyers and supporters, I became painfully aware of the fact that I, a normal college student, has neither the energy nor the money necessary to deal with this issue in any other way than to agree with the cease and desist, and take down the entire site. I cannot apologize enough to all IMSLP contributors, who have done so much for IMSLP in the last two years..."
