no rudeness at all intended with my last reply in the „Urtext Scores“ thread!
I personally would stay away from scanning and posting scores which are still in print and readily available (admittedly I not always did that with my postings in this forum).
So for me a problem only arises when a work is still under copyright but has not been in print for decades and is hard to find as a second-hand copy.
And BTW I find the EU Copyright with the „70-year after the composer‘s death“ rule much clearer than the US Copyright with this odd „published before...“ rule.
Please believe me that I will do my very best to obey all copyright rules in the future .
A Happy New Year and all best wishes

Thank you Alfred, and I do appreciate how frustrating copyright rules can be [esepcially as they vary so considerably across the globe]. There is nothing worst having spent good time scanning works to find issues on posting them. I do recognise that you do try to follow guidelines [for which I am very grateful], and in most circumstances I do allow postings even in the "grey"area but in this case my hands were tied.
I also truly wish you and your kin a Happy New Year. Hopefully some wonderful scores in the pipeline from both of us, as well as other members.
