===Subscription introduction===
On December 27, 2015, the IMSLP moved to a subscription-based model, where users are expected to pay to avoid a waiting period on some of the files available on the site, and to access certain newly uploaded files.<ref name="Strad2016">{{cite web|title = IMSLP music library introduces paid membership – The Strad|url = http://www.thestrad.com/cpt-latests/imslp-music-library-introduces-paid-membership/|website = The Strad|access-date = 2016-01-14|language = en-US|date = 2016-01-04|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160114085206/http://www.thestrad.com/cpt-latests/imslp-music-library-introduces-paid-membership/|archive-date = 2016-01-14}}</ref> Users who have not paid are subject to a 15-second waiting period on certain files (excluding [[Creative Commons]]-licensed files that constitute a majority of the site's files),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://imslpforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=40283#p40283 |title=Upcoming changes - Page 2 |publisher=IMSLP Forums |access-date=2016-07-10 |archive-date=2016-02-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160214102734/http://imslpforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=40283#p40283 |url-status=live }}</ref> and are required to wait up to two days to access newly uploaded files.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite web|url=

<blockquote><poem>The income we receive from various sources have been enough to maintain the site so far, but I increasingly believe that this level of funding is not sustainable in the long run. We are not, like traditional music libraries, bound by the service of a conservatory, university or publisher, but rather can do things that traditional institutions are not willing to do, because we serve only musicians and music lovers. But everything is a tradeoff – we also do not have the funding infrastructure these traditional institutions have, and over the past few years I’ve frankly exhausted my imagination in searching for new realistic sources of funding for IMSLP.
