illagal copies

• Apr 24, 2025 - 12:09

Dear users of Musescore. I am appalled to see that this platform displays and makes available arrangements that are copyright restricted and for which the publishers have paid licenses. The choral music arrangers receive their fees exclusively through the sales figures of the publishers / rights holders and thus in these cases they go away empty-handed with Musescore. This is not only illegal behavior on the part of Musescore but also immoral and unfair to the arrangers. Musescore is not fulfilling its obligation to check uploads. A complaint on our part has not yet been answered, let alone the scores offered illegally for download taken off the net. Please check carefully whether you want to support this illegal behavior.

Yours sincerely

There's nothing published here on musescore.org.
On musescore.com copyright holders can request scores to be taken down and/or (presumably only if big enough a publisher) can get to an agreemement with the Muse Group to collect royalties.
