Hi dear LilyPond Users!
I'm relaying here a call for donations in order to liberate some
classical symphonies recordings from copyright entanglement.
Musopen wants your help to hire internationally renowned orchestras
to record and release the rights to: the Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius,
and Tchaikovsky symphonies.
I'm not good in writing stuffs (especially in English), so I'm just
giving some links to:
– a much better article written by the Electronic Frontier
Foundation:
"Musopen Wants to Give Classical Music to the Public Domain"
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/08/musopen-wants-give-classical-music-public-domain
– the kickstarter page of the project (where you can support and
donate, as well as obtain more detailed information about the
project):
"Record and release free music without copyrights"
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Musopen/record-and-release-free-music-without-copyrights
– Musopen website: http://www.musopen.com
They have already reached their initial goal of $11,000 , but every
additional $ will serve to release other pieces of music (set of Mozart
violin sonatas, or all of Chopin's mazurkas, ballades, or nocturnes...
a little money buys a LOT of music).
Thanks for your attention.
Cheers,
Xavier
