It's almost like the title of the project is a personality requirement.

title is a bit clickbaity. **TLDR** the owner of Audacity (Muse Group) is trying to take down a Github project that allows people to pirate sheet music from their other platform, Muse Score. Some of this sheet music is licensed from companies like Disney, so Muse Group is basically obligated to go after the guy (anybody reminded of the attempted youtube-dl takedown?). But to Muse Group's credit, they held an open discussion with the project creator on Github for over a year to try and resolve the issue peacefully.
