    I know someone will in all likelihood defend this on the grounds that the company are within their rights etc., but I really feel this is not only an an absurdly OTT move, but also a slap in the face to classical music and the art of music in general. I do not think the man himself would have welcomed this.

    To put a price on artistic expression of this quality is a crying shame in my opinion.

    There's about 10 other versions that have the sound enabled. It's not his fault he's old & forgot the music sheet.

    It's one of Beethoven's greatest pieces that has been silenced by some Japanese company called Avex who appear to claim ownership of it.

    I have no idea how there can be copyright on a piece written 200 years ago.

    Is it not the specific recording that's copyrighted?

    I'm not sure to be honest. All of the other songs recorded from the concert appear to still be on Youtube.
