Hi Taras, and thanks for your uploads. Do you have permission from the estate of Ludwig Finckh (d.1964) to upload his poetry here? If not, I'm afraid it will have to be removed, as he is under copyright in Canada (where the primary IMSLP servers are located), not to mention most of the rest of the world. In addition, is it safe to assume that you have permission from Ann Mayr to upload her translations here? Thanks, KGill talk email 21:02, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Please see IMSLP:Score_submission_guide/Manual_of_Style#Work_Pages. For consistency on this site, most workpage titles that start with numbers start with the numbers as numerals, not with the numbers spelled out. Is there a good reason to make an exception in this case? Eric 01:43, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
Dear Composer or Copyright Owner,
s a composer or other copyright holder, please take time to carefully review the Creative Commons and licensing policies and guidelines.
For those uploading the first time, please remember choose the menu option "New Composition" when uploading your original works (even if they are scans of manuscripts or printouts), "New Arrangement" when uploading new arrangements, and "New Edition" when uploading new editions of public domain works. As it is normally assumed that composers and arrangers have edited their own work, please leave the "Editor" field empty unless another person has actually edited your work (in which case their name should be inserted). Note also that the English term "Editor" is not the equivalent of the French editeur or Italian editore. "Editor" refers to the person who reviewed and corrected the piece, while the French and Italian words are closer to the English word "publisher". In the "Publisher" field, please use your own full legal name, as making your scores and sound files available for free download on this site constitutes "publication" under the laws of most countries in the world. (Note that this is done automatically when using the standard upload tools).
You should be aware that Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 allows for the unrestricted copying, performance (live and broadcast) and recording of the work (including explicitly commercial use) at no charge, with no compensation or royalties payable to the composer or copyright owner for such commercial exploitation. Note also that the all of the acceptable licenses are considered to be IRREVOCABLE once a file has been uploaded with the lawful copyright owner's authorization.
You are free to change the license after upload to something more suitable. IMSLP as a matter of policy will list files under the most permissive licensing terms. Since licenses and public domain dedications are irrevocable, restrictions cannot be added later, but a more liberal license can be selected. Composers are also encouraged to make use of our new template {{NoPerf}}, which automatically places works into a new category - Unperformed Works. To add this template to your pages, simply copy and paste the little template above (curly brackets and all) into the "First Performance" field of the "General Information" section on all work pages.
Before you upload, remember these key points...
PS: For additional and more detailed explanation, please visit our Composer Portal page.
Dear Taras, Since Shamo died only in 1982, his work is not-PD anywhere in the world. Do you have permission to upload his work here from his heirs? If we receive no response in 24 hours or less, this will be deleted as a possible copyright violation. Thanks, Carolus 23:00, 27 May 2011 (UTC) (IMSLP Copyright Admin)
