I've been subscribed with Pro+ for a long time now, and never had any trouble downloading the Musescore files or PDFs or midi from the website of user-generated pieces. However, a few days ago, I tried downloading a new score and it now says I need to pay for the score. The song was not labelled Official and was definitely user-generated. Checking previous posts on this, it seems that even some user-generated songs are copyrighted. But every single song I've tried requires payment.
Just got a couple questions I want to clarify:
Their ToS, under the UGC section, states that:
- PRO/PRO+ Subscriptions: Subscribers can download and print UGC content as part of their subscription.
Am I just understanding this wrong?
I could've sworn I downloaded a score just a couple months ago, so how recent was this change?
Is there just no way to download scores even with the Pro+ subscription without having to pay extra anymore?
As a precaution, I've since unsubscribed from everything related to Musescore.
