    I was curious about this recently. I was wondering about open files of well known artists.

    Unlike netflix/YouTube its not immediately clear to me which Organisation would spearhead something like this out of their own interesting. Closest I know of is the MuseGroup, which are doing this "growing of the pie" with open source music creation Software.

    Anyone know of something else?

    The last addition was made in 2020.

    Anyone else surprised that the download links are plain HTTP without SSL? I know it's a page that in the past I would have typically not worried about securing - but nowadays it's SSL everything or else your browser yells at you.

      The page look like zero effort given anyway, like one of the free templates you can find.

    Funny how how all the links, including the ones to their own pages, are routed through google.com/url, e.g. the link "Assets Available to Download". Usually tracking isn't quite this visible.

      It is very odd. I don’t see a good reason, not even tracking.

    …and you must have an account to watch it and accounts cost money. So essentially this is content Netflix gets for free and then charges others to view.

      They have downloadable files that you don't need an account for.
