A denial of service attack on their site won't do us any good. In fact, it will make us look guilty when IMSLP has done nothing wrong in my opinion.

Careful. That does not help IMSLP's cause. On the other hand, that will just fire them up and hit us with what they've got. Plus, if they somehow get hold of your IP, rest assured you'll get a legal letter of some sort.

I see this assault as some sort of a first salvo. If they somehow don't succeed, other publishers will gang up and follow suit. At least one German music publisher has the heart to offer octavo sized paperback editions of the NMA which is much more affordable than their full-sized, hardcover counter...

I agree with Aldona. Give us something (eg. Paypal) to send money. I'm sure if everybody is willing to chip in, we can help IMSLP in one way or another. To people who say they are willing to help IMSLP financially, now is the time to walk the talk and not give empty promises! You have benefitted fro...

As Carolus have said, I think the only why the music compositions of composers under UE that have passed on for more than 50 years is if the works themselves are published less than 50 years ago. In short, the works are published by UE posthumously. If this is the case, UE will have to prove the wor...

In Madama Butterfly, early in Act I, Pinkerton sings the aria "Duvunque al mondo, io Yankee vagabondo". This aria is preceded by a short introduction by the winds based on the US national anthem "The Star Spangled Banner".

The thing is, the guys at UE will argue the fact the IMSLP provided the means for people from countries where the works are still protected to download the music, even though IMSLP is physically hosted in Canada. A solution is by barring people from downloading them by using the IP address to determ...

New website for downloading NMA

Hi, just something related to the original topic. I've found another (mirror?) website that allows downloading of the NMA:

http://www.venturus.de/Mozart.htm

The layout may not be as nice as the DME but at least you can just right-click on the link to download the files straightaway.

Quality of scans in DME

To Matthieu and Mr P. Legge, although I'm new to IMSLP I have known and downloaded the PDF files from the Digital Mozart Edition of the Neue Mozart Ausgabe. I contacted Feldmahler about the unsatisfactory quality regarding the PDF files. For example, in Le Nozze di Figaro edited by Ludwig Finscher, ...

Neue Mozart Ausgabe in 20 volumes on sale at e-Bay

Hi, I'm a classical music student and I think IMSLP is a great project. I would just like to highlight that somebody in e-Bay is putting for sale the entire NMA in 20 volumes, so if anybody is interested, they can take a look. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/W-A-Mozart-Neue-Ausgabe-saemtlic...
