Boing Boing says German music publisher claims that nothing is public domain until its copyright runs out in every country.

Messages from the Ether discusses IMSLP v. corporate lawyers.

There's definitely some good news: Project Leader Feldmahler is looking for a large institution (ie, probably a university) to partner with to reopen the site. Huzzah!
