Musopen is an online music library of copyright-free (public domain) music. Musopen's mission is to record or obtain recordings that have no copyrights so that its visitors may listen, re-use, or in any way enjoy music; put simply, "to set music free."

In 2008, Musopen released newly-commissioned recordings of the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas into the public domain.[1] In 2010, the site organized a fundraiser via Kickstarter to commission recordings of a larger repertoire.[2], raising a grand total of $68,359, more than six times their target goal of $11,000[3].

Musopen is a U.S. registered 501(c)(3) tax-deductible nonprofit charity, operating out of Palo Alto, California. Musopen was created by Aaron Dunn in 2005.
