It's not that simple at all.  IMSLP has music that is copyrighted and relies
on the downloader to not break copyright laws.
 
For example, I can download the score for the R. Vaughan Williams tuba
concerto.  He died 59 years ago and the concerto was written 63 years ago.
I can legally use that score for performance in Mexico and China but not in
Britain.
