Why Volunteer For Musopen
- -We are a registered (501(3)(c) non-profit working to give free access to only public domain music recordings and sheet music
- - We have ongoing partnerships with major college and universities as well as other large non-profit organizations
- -We are working with other non-profits to ensure our library is accessible everywhere in the world, partners include the OLPC project and the Internet Archive
- -Legal - We have terrific advisors who help with guidelines and
make sure we're doing what we should be to protect the project and your contributions from being taken down.
- - The most innovative project of its kind. Wiki's have been a great way to collect materials and people, but moving forwards its not the best way for visitors to digest media. We add new features all the time and have the resources and the creativity to continue adding more.
- -You'll be contributing to a library of music for the world to enjoy, for free, there are worse things to do with your time. I stopped playing computer games for this, you can too.
