I really like AllOfBach's attempt to provide free/gratis recordings of, eventually, all of Bach's repertoire; it is a laudable endeavour.
What disappoints me is the lack of vision on how this cultural resource can be maintained and spread amongst whoever benefits from it in the long term. All the copyrights appear to reside with the Netherlands Bach Society, and there appears to be no legal way to spread this resource beyond streaming it via Vimeo (for which by the way you need to allow cookies for player.vimeo.com if you use Privacy Badger).
These are high quality recordings by excellent musicians, it's a shame that copyright encumbers it without some open culture license like Creative Commons.
I should really take the time to write them and ask about their views on this topic.
Edit: I should perhaps say middle-to-long-term, as copyright might eventually expire (if we are lucky).
