As discussed in the original Hot Deals thread, they only had a 128kbps bit-rate. Why would you even want them? 😛

 

[johnnq1]

Beethoven is not copyrighted, the man has been dead for hundreds of years, you can just download them from anywhere you like.

Search 'Beethoven' on torrent trackers, p2p services, etc.

They were released as torrents IIRC. I'm sure they're still up.

The recordings aren't hundreds of years old, and the musicians who made them are probably mostly still alive.

Probably not the BBC ones - they were already released for free.

Even if they are, can you see anything morally wrong with 'illegally' downloading something you could have downloaded anyway if it weren't for an arbitrary time limit?

 

[johnnq1]

you're right. pm me and we'll talk? 🙂

I never finished downloading them either. I think I got 1-5.
