To be slightly fair to the guy, it seems like he's probably in the right about the details- it sounds like Muse Score is under very strict constraints to be able to do what they're doing, and this repo is basically just allowing users to violate the constraints that Muse Score was forced to operate under in order to continue hosting copyrighted works. Which is pretty unsurprising in my view. There's quite a few people in the thread who are basically arguing "But we don't like your business model" - to which the correct answer is "Well fuck off then".
He's gone way too far in trying to pursuade the commenters in that thread. But then there's 34 hidden comments (I don't seem to be able to open), a jump from October 2020 to yesterday and suddenly he's wading in to a debate on ethics in journalism and making what are at the very least poorly considered references to getting someone deported (I don't seriously believe that someone is going to get deported for copyright infringement unless they really really go out of their way to fight it).
