Stupidity of Musescore Payment system

• Jan 1, 2021 - 14:42

Hello,

I just want to get one answer.
Why do authors need to pay for work that they have done to make scores and users that they had done absolutely nothing don't have to pay for scores?
I don't get that, so when I make scores for someone to learn from I need to pay for it, but the user that will just use it and not contribute pay nothing. So in final anybody can steal it from here and make a profit and I will even pay for it? Is this a joke LMAO?

Thanks for your answer.

In musescore.com though it is the other way round, users can upload unlimited amd free, just the download is restricted for non-Pro users.

Again: you can upload as many scores as you like, the 5-scores limit had been removed more than a year ago, and you even know that, as you have 7 scores publicly visible on musescore.com and since more than a year. Seems you are knowingly not telling the truth by claiming _ i cant upload more scores than 5_ ...
All(most all) your scores are violating foreign copyrights BTW, and the PRO fee for downloading them is, at least partly, needed to pay the roaylties to the original owners (Like Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendez, Oasis, Run'n'Roses, James Last...).
And no, uploading to musescore.com is not related AT ALL to the MuseScore program and its support site musescore.org, which is entirely free

It's not related to this website. Your question is about a separate website, the commercial score scaring website musescore.com. And thus, you should be asking over there. Except, as noted, you are incorrect in your statements about how the system works. Unless you have a time machine and are still living in the 2010's, you never have to pay to upload. Only downloading copyrighted material requires a Pro account.

But FWIW, the idea of paying for increased upload limits isn't so crazy either. It's how virtually every other file sharing system works. There are actually very few I can think of that allow unlimited uploads but charge users for download.
