Sorry, I meant to say "shouldn't these collections be in PD?" But since they are listed in the Library of Congress, I'd imagine they are since all publications by the LoC are PD assuming these collections are indeed published by the LoC.

Should these collections be in the public domain?

I'd like to see them try.

If it is remastered, is that analogous to reprinting a score that is already out of copyright?

Beethoven an Austrian? Hard to imagine where this joke came from though when he was born in Bonn.

Maybe the same can be done with linking MIDI files with IMSLP via http://www.classicalarchives.com ?

Great, thanks for reminding me. And a new interface as well.

I hope it will. Piano Society is a great resource for music students and enthusiasts like me.

On a related note, is IMSLP still going to be linked to Piano Society was IMSLP is back on again?
