Musopen Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Tarzana, California, launched by Aaron Dunn in 2005. It aims to "set music free" by providing music to the public free of charge, without copyright restrictions. Some content is available free of charge with limitations and registration is required. == Mission and charitable activities == Musopen provides an online library of public domain music recordings and sheet music. It also raises money to finance classical music recordings which are released into the public domain. In 2008, Musopen released newly commissioned recordings of the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas into the public domain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Musopen puts classical recordings, scores in public domain )〕 In 2010, the site organized a fundraiser via Kickstarter to commission recordings of a larger repertoire,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Orchestra To Turn Copyright Free Classical Scores Into Copyright Free Music )〕 raising a total of $68,359, more than six times their initial target of $11,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Musopen: Record and release free music without copyrights. )〕 In July 2012, Musopen announced that the editing of the recordings was finished, after which the audio files were uploaded to its website and Archive.org.
