<br>The project is a great idea, indeed. Problem is... Would it include the written music, or audio files? If it includes audio files, the author, the orchestra and whoever paid them can demand rights. You can put a Wagner's partiture wherever in the internet, but you can't upload Karajan's Ring of the Nibelungs for everyone to listen for free.

<br>Gutenberg project, has been closed due to abusive legal threats from<br>the huge publisher Universal Editions AG.<br><br>More info on<br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Music_Score_Library_Project">
