IMSLP Forums

I just want to reiterate my stance on what the acceptable IMSLP licenses should be: CC-BY, CC-BY-SA. Potentially with performance exemption as needed, though not is preferred.

heheheh after what ive read in a few posts i can tell the peoples hre are real real REAL pros at music, like conductors or professionals. is there any undergraduate, non super expert here, like me? Please say there is, or ill be scared! Haha, no fears. I'm just an amateur... my formal training ende...

I love playing in small string ensembles! I've been/played with a few quartets and occasionally a quintet or sextet, although I'm not in any at the moment.

The ads make it commercial. How can we deal with that? Removing the ads from my work pages? Leaving the ads but changing the tracking ID into my own (I'm an Amazon affiliate, too)? Or simply remove composers who feel that IMSLP is being commercial in this regard/object to the ads on their work page...

I'd never noticed it, and I used FF2 until a few days ago.

Out of curiosity, would it be possible to (slightly) set the adverts apart in some way, ie a different background color or suchlike? That way I know they're there when I want them, but I won't read the introductory text every time (because otherwise I will... can't seem to help it!).

If you like... I'm just trying to clean up the announcements/stickies so I don't have to scroll so far to see new posts...

Well... I think there are two issues here: the issue of hosting (IMSLP's legal issue) and the issue of transferring (Deinonychus' - or other users' - legal issue). I think daphnis is correct that IMSLP would bear no liability, but I'm not so sure about Deinonychus.

But I am not a lawyer.

Yes, but how to I get the license? Do I have to fill something out? Pay for it? To briefly explain a bit more... A Creative Commons License is not a license you need to purchase (or obtain!) for the right to use it; it's a license that the Creative Commons (Foundation? Group? Anyway...) has created...

Unchecked, Verified, Checked (probably ok but not verified), Non-pd.
