Assertions from UE's most recent post (7 composers):

Leos Janacek is in copyright in Spain.
Richard Strauss is still in copyright in Europe.
Alban Berg is still in copyright in Spain and some works in France.
Some of the works by Mahler are arrangements or edited versions, which means they enjoy copyright protection for their editors.
Joseph Marx is in full copyright worldwide, including Canada.
Schönberg is in copyright in Europe and the USA.
Bartók is in copyright in Europe and the USA.

1. Janacek's country of origin is Czechoslovakia, not Spain. While it is certainly possible that his works are protected in Spain, it is also entirely possible that Spain's life-plus-80 term applies only to Spanish authors. He is public domain in the rest of the EU.

2. (Strauss) Yes, he is copyright in the EU.

3. Berg's country of origin is Austra, not Spain or France. As with Janacek, he could be protected in those two countries - depending on who they apply the extended term to.

4. (Mahler) There was cosiderable debate at IMSLP over the Mahler: Symphony 1, in which an urtext edition copyright is claimed. The edition was not a re-engraving, however, and used the identical plates from the 1906 score, with some editorial modifications - not enough to justify a new engraving, apparently. That edition falls in a gray area under Canada's law. I, personally, would be in favor of removing it. The arrangers of some of the piano reductions are likely still protected in the EU.

5. (Marx) This claim is factually incorrect. All titles in the list are public domain in the USA. As I mentioned on another thread, the USA server was quite problematic from a technical standpoint and was going to be scrapped shortly, which would eliminate the Marx titles from the debate in any case. Project Gutenburg, or any site hosted in the USA, is free to put them up, of course.

6. (Schönberg) Factually incorrect again. All but two titles are public domain in the USA. All are public domain in Canada, Australia, Japan, etc. Yes, they are protected in the EU.

7. (Bartok) Incorrect again. All but nine titles are public domain in the USA, and those nine are controlled there by Boosey and Hawkes, not UE. He's PD in most of the world, but still protected in the EU.
--------

Mr. Irons and UE demand that IMSLP should abide by EU, Spanish, and French copyright laws, even though IMSLP is in Canada, and furthermore enforce EU, Spanish, and French copyright laws in Canada, and upon those who visit from the USA, Australia, Japan, etc. There is nothing reasonable about this. It is the responsibility of Spanish Internet Providers to enforce Spain's copyright laws, French providers to enforce those of France, and so on. It is manifestly not IMSLP's responsibility to enforce EU copyright upon the entire world. Putting $10 in a tip jar is not volunteering to fund a complex filtering mechanism whereby visitors from the EU would be limited to downloading only those titles which are public domain in the EU.
