Made with MuseScore

There is the MuseScore quote but not everyone will appreciate it.
Go to the site https://www.playalongpiano.com/ and type your nickname in the search bar.
Not relevant here but I think unpleasant for some contributors.

It’s a bit laggy but cool.

They also honour the licence, so that’s fine. They also only list the scores by users that were uploaded under a licence that’s not none (all rights reserved).

We’re running into the problem I already phophecied though: for a while, the upload defaulted to CC0: https://musescore.com/groups/improving-musescore-com/discuss/5054555#

I guess the legal entity behind running musescore.com is at fault for not informing users that they mark a score as CC0 upon uploading, for all these scores, that is, while you can request a takedown on playalongpiano.com the damage was done by the musescore.com operators. I even requested, multiple times during that discussion and again when @mandelstamdavid took over, that all scores initially uploaded as CC0 during the time of the bug and not changed later be relabelled as no licence and the affected users informed, but they did nothing. So, while the people from playalongpiano.com indeed did not get a licence for a number of scores, there was no way they could know that.

No, they took the scores that are published under CC licences, and the upload defaulted to CC0 for quite a while during end-2019 beginning-2020. I checked for at least one of the affected users, only very few of their scores are listed, and those were uploaded during that time frame and the licence changed later, so the fault lies with musescore.com here :/ the playalongpiano people operated under the assumption that the licence label on musescore.com matches an according explicit licence grant from the uploader, and they couldn’t know differently.

I guess if the MS/UG people were to compile a list of all affected scores and send it to that site, they’d probably take it down (because they, indeed, do not have a licence for the affected pieces, but they have no way of knowing that).
