It would probably help his case if his website wasn't so...well...behind the times? Maybe that's the most polite way of putting it. It doesn't exactly make purchasing easy. His books (like the Rey del Flamenco transcription book) are easy to buy through other platforms but a lot of stand-alone transcriptions (just one piece, often manuscript) are passed around fairly commonly. On the foro everyone avoids that, as the rules state that you can't:
quote:
4. Upload, or otherwise make available, files that contain images, photographs, software or other material protected by (i) intellectual property laws, including, by way of example, and not as limitation, copyright or trademark laws or (ii) by rights of privacy or publicity, if any unless you own or control the rights thereto or have received all necessary consents to do the same.
(makes me wonder if it was alright to post those few screenshots. I'm fairly certain that under French law posting one page like that is fine, but I don't really know for other countries)
But IRL those things are passed around without a care in the world for IPR. There's probably a comparison to be made with jazz fake books.
In many ways, youtube has made transcriptions more or less obsolete. I learned Aires de Puerto Real from that recording of Javier Conde. I have the transcription too, but it's more of a back-up I guess. A better student would have been able to pick it up from the audio recording of Sabicas alone, but I have a much easier time seeing someone play it. I learned Riqueni's Brisas with a video of Grisha. So, even when you can't find video of the original composer/performer, you can often find versions by reputable players.
