Best site ever if you're a classical musician!
I contribute $2 USD a month to Petrucci/IMSLP for the same reason I contribute $3 a month to Wikipedia and $11 a month to WNYC: for the greater good of human civilization.
Before Petrucci, I used to be a regular user/contributor of the Mutopia project [1]. Its purpose is to provide Lilypond [2] source files for scores: this allows users to create MIDI files or re-create PDF files using custom page layouts/line breaks/etc. These features are handy, but creating a Lilypond file from a score is much more time-consuming than simply scanning it and uploading to Petrucci. (Each of Mozart's and Haydn's string quartet I uploaded took me ~2 weeks of work.)
