I just thought I'd make a cheerful note that, as of today, my little
music expansion project
has accumulated 189 full length (copyleft) songs --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sound/list for the full list.
This includes 44 by Handel, 20 by Mozart, 18 by Beethoven, and 17 by Bach.
Also, I sent a permission request to a violin professor at Wichita State
U, and his response was the best I have *ever* recieved: "I am a big fan
of Wikipedia and am flattered and thrilled at this request. There are
currently no copyrights on my music at ampcast. If you have a
step-by-step process of how to best make these works available to you,
please send it to me. I will also look into this. " - so I expect to be
adding a fair amount more in the near future.
