Has anybody heard anything about imslp.org?

I just tried to surf there and my browser says they don't exist. Are they temporarily down, or are they going through the copyright hell again?

Tuesday morning: I couldn't access it yesterday (Monday), but all seems normal again now. The pages look like they're slightly differently laid out now, so I guess it was this update that caused the glitch.

I haven't been on the computer for several days. I just checked the site and can't get it to come up.
No clue what's going on. Occasionally sites do go down for routine maintenance, but I didn't get anything except a blank white screen and the search bar saying it was "waiting". No error message, no nothing....

Maybe it crashed. Lord knows we link this site on a lot of answers quite frequently. I hope it's up
and running. Even when I choose to buy sheet music instead, it's often a great source to review an entire score or piece if I'm not completely familiar with the work and want to try to learn it.

Haven't heard a thing http://imslp.eu/ seems to be up. I'm guessing it's a maintenance cycle. During the October 2007-June 2008 hell cycle, they had their front page up with a notice about the copyright/sharing issue.

In the meantime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_online_music_databases

Yup ... all's good again.

It’s a great source for downloadable, printable scores dating over 50 years. The scores are donated by subscribers. Especially effective for classicala and baroque works.

Can't get on either.
And my life will be hell without that website, so I hope it goes back up soon!
Where else will I get endless amounts of sheet music?
