Re: UE website - Statement

Apart from this, we have no idea why the website was taken down - and why it is still down, although everyone seems to think they were in the right. Can it really be true that a whole site has to close simply because UE complains about 70 works? Is it really not possible that there might be another...

Re: UE website - Statement

Are you all aware that there is a statement about the IMSLP case on UE's website? It's quite interesting to read, I think. Maybe we all should send our opinion in written form to UE as they don't seem to take it serious what is obvious here in these forums. You find it there: http://www.uemusic.at/...

Is UE feeling lucky?

And, if they are, will they try to shut down the on-line collections of the Library of Congress?

Regardless of whether they dislike what is happening or not, I doubt they will jeopardize there relationship with UE... How could it "jeopardize their relastionship" if they indicate that they consider the publisher had behaved like a boorish bully? Would UE really deny themselves future ...

The UE don't do a good job to anybody, it seems to me: Least of all for themselves, as is demonstrated by their increasingly risible attempts to claim they weren't the cause of the (temporary) demise of IMSLP. The tale posted by Herr Jonathan Irons seems intended to make it seem as if UE is, someho...

UE is an Austrian company.

Wasn't Hitler also an Austrian? :)

Why don't the administrators of IMSLP provide us those scores that are undeniably immune to copyright legislation? I don't think that UE would or could object to the posting of the music of Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Bach, Handel, Chopin, Schumann, Schubert, Mandelssohn, etc. Ple...

A few more answers to points raised by UE: 2. UE most certainly made repeated polite and direct attempts to discuss in an amiable manner the copyright infringements taking place on the site. IMSLP has deliberately decided not to show you this correspondence, in the (successful) attempt to give the ...
