The actual headline is much more appropriate. We chose to raise money to grow more quickly and to not have to rely on going public to get funds. We could have continued with less funding (low-cost) but chose not to, so no its not the end of

Im not sure I follow your math, the rates on that page show the cost. Assume its $20-30 an hour 45 people at $30 an hour is $1350, $5400 for 4. I'm having them play live so they can read through a symphony in half an hour potentially, depen

Because too many have abused the site with bots and automated scripts. It has literally taken down the site more times than I care to remember. We also have to keep track of things like who is uploading what for DMCA protection.

I agree but its a balance, if you want to use Mendelssohn's Italian symphony for an animation, bad or not, you NEED something free. This happened to an animator entering a contest. Its not a perfect recording, but it did the job and is a gr

But thats entirely the point, we arent trying to replace those recordings. Otherwise we really would be threatening commercial viability. We want open recordings that people can use and not be sued for sharing, and this project is attemptin

@alnayyir Im defending that you accused me of scraping emails from somewhere. I emailed most of the list because I'm not looking for any specific type of help, and its not like people are mentioning classical music interests in the bios. I

I just want to point out, re: all these "instant" things, Google instant is useful not because its instant, but because its finishing queries for you. Partial queries are not useful. My 2cents

Its per hour, and since they know this music so well, we're going to record it live. They play Beethoven symphonies every year at least 1-2 times

the orchestra depends entirely on how much money we raise, and what pieces of music the donors want. I can hire the london symphony, but I personally would rather get something less well known and more music.

One suggestion, an option to use it like tinygrab. Right click, 1) it uploads the file 2) Moves it to trash 3) copies a bit.ly URL to the file Like TinyGrab for files, this would make large file sharing much easier

Little misleading, comparing an english news site to a search engine, look at just USA: http://grab.by/3LyC http://trends.google.com/websites?q=ask.com,+nytimes.com,+cn...
