The simplest solution would be to hire lawyers and submit an official DMCA request to GitHub to block repositories, but Muse Group decided not to resort to such actions, but to negotiate unofficially, After they discovered that Wenzheng Tang, the developer, left China for political reasons and in case of problems with the law, he will face cancellation of his residence permit and deportation, followed by persecution in his country for insulting the Chinese government. On the one hand, there is a threat of termination of the service and on the other hand, there is the possibility of paralyzing a person's life. Upon such request, the author of the repositories just refused to remove the repositories y Muse Group faced a difficult dilemma. In the case of musescore-dataset, the problems are more serious and can be considered a crime. While on the part of the second repository, musescore-dataset, it illegally distributes copies of licensed works from music publishers. The repository needs to be closed because the musescore downloader illegally bypasses copyright protection systems (there are no claims against accessing public content from ).
