Likewise IMSLP with sheet music. They have gotten very, very good at navigating the various public domain regimes. The stuff that's worldwide public domain gets hosted on their main infrastructure, but they then have (legally separate) operations in several countries with various regimes (-CA, -US, -RU, at least, maybe a few more) that hosts files that aren't cleared worldwide.


There's no Russian server. The broader IMSLP network has: - Main server: for files thar are PD in the US and Canada - IMSLP-EU: PD-EU and PD-CA, but not PD-US - PML-CA: PD-CA, but not PD-EU or PD-US - PML-US: PD-US, but not PD-CA

Anyway, there's stuff we're working on in any case... some infrastructure improvements.


Glad to here about it!

I'm geeking out over Atterberg's 6th symphony right now, the score of which got uploaded a few hours ago. May even re-engrave it since there is a score but no parts, and it's instrumental demands don't put it out of reach of an enterprising community orchestra.


Yes, I'm the one who uploaded it. Right now I'm busy as I have a huge pile of things to process and upload...


I'm curious to know just how reliably one can filter access by country, and if there are resources for someone interested in doing it.


Much like Wikimedia Commons, Archive.org and other open-content sites, we don't have a general global block for our content.

But country-level IP geolocation is trivial.
