I really don’t think he would mind. Since his dead you know." Maybee, but it´s not that simple. His music is free, but NOT his recordings, no one has the right to charge anyone for using his music, but all people who are playing in a recording has the right to get money when that recording is used, and allso recordcompanys and the "musikförlag". Dont know the english word for that. When a record is made, its not only the composer who has o eat. :) "Christ… Beethoven is dead, let the music roam free.

For that would make me live forever. / MackanZoor Christ… Beethoven is dead, let the music roam free.

I took the symphonies down because I will not infringe upon the BBC's copyright. I have not "butchered" this little operation. I suggest you invest in some reading comprehension classes, because your abilities are clearly lacking. What the fuck are you talking about?

Here's the symphonies. Oops, no symphonies. Hey, they're back. No they're not. Jesus man, you make no sense at all. Did a giant alphabet crapping monster take a dump on your keyboard?

Otherwise it is being a bit petty. Afterall, if you take the license seriously you'd never be able to do anything with the music. Seeing as you can't copy it you won't be able to move the bits from your hard disk to your memory, so you won't be able to play it at all. Having said that I download all my music and films off bit torrent anyway. I don't think its immoral but then again I couldn't care less.
