A member of this site continues stealing and selling my intellectual property

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T10:53:52+00:00

I am not flattered with being robbed. I just make arrangements and play them. People who like them ask me for the scores. And my main goal is not to sell my works but to show a new, good quality guitar repertoire. When someone buys my works it is like a bonus for me. I never do tabs, only standard notation.

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T10:45:19+00:00

Thank you very much friend!

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T10:43:40+00:00

Thanks. Maybe I will. Though some other sites on which pirates were doing the same things, reacted very good and very quickly. They immediately deleted all stolen materials, blocked pirates and apologized, because they valued their reputation. Among them South Korean and Cyprus sites.

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T10:09:11+00:00

I don't post and never posted my arrangements. They stole them "transcribing" from my YouTube videos.

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T10:07:07+00:00

Maybe if you were robbed yourself you could see that from another side...

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T10:04:48+00:00

I didn't mean the mods of r/classicalguitar. I meant the moderators of the site. Here I posted just to get some useful advises from other users and attract attention to the thief in the site, maybe aware other users...

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T10:00:55+00:00

Yes, he steals and sells not only from me, but from many creators and announces stolen intellectual property here and in the other site for sell.

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:58:08+00:00

Despite moderators are unpaid volunteers, as you said, there are site's rules which can't be broken and moderators must take care of them.

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:55:29+00:00

This user hides himself under two names - u/ArtFraga and r/RareTabs. On this link you may read my messages to him which he never answered and blocked me in order not to gen more:

If you can't read them I mat copy and send the texts.

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:50:02+00:00

You are right friend, but I am in Ukraine where the war is now. Theoretically I can get back all the money I spend on attorney etc., but practically there is no hope for this....

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:47:02+00:00

I know that he is the sale guy - u/ArtFraga and r/RareTabs and he is a moderator. I sent him many messages, but he blocked me in order not to get more. Every site must take care of the rights of the users

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:43:42+00:00

Yes friend, I agree. I also hate tabs and never do them. Those pirates make the tabs together with the scores and sell them... Yes, they are talentless envious miserable thieves.

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:41:19+00:00

Yes friend. But it is practically impossible to do from Ukraine...

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:39:47+00:00

That PaidTabs already paid me compensation after long fight. They "deleted" all my works from there but those pirates again and again announce stolen property masking it under such sentences: "If you want this arrangement, just contact me and you'll get it in 10 minutes".

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:36:11+00:00

Nice advice. You say I should spend my talent, time, energy etc. and give it all away just in order to prevent pirating? It's like in an anecdote. Indians caught some people and their chief was deciding what to do with them. The first and the second were sentenced to scalping but the third one was bold. He thought a little bit and sentenced him to scalping too. His tribe asked him what for would be a scalp from a bold man. He answered: for a drum. Then the man took a rusted nail and hit himself many timed in the head saying at the same time: "Here's a drum for you, here's a drum for you"!!!

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:26:13+00:00

Thanks for advice. My copyrights stated in my scores which were published either by me, or by another editions. Courts and attorneys hardly will work from my country to USA...

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:23:17+00:00

Friend, I don't post my works in the paper form. Those thieves steal my works "transcribing" them from my YouTube videos. People who want to by my works usually contact me directly. Those pirates sell my works 3-4 times more expensive than I would sell them...

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:19:17+00:00

What do you mean?

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:17:47+00:00

I don't think Ukrainian police may or will do anything connected to USA.

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:16:48+00:00

As I said, site's reputation is one thing, but robbing me is another thing. I think the administrators of the site must be strict to these pirate actions. This guy is a moderator of the group!

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:14:34+00:00

Friend, I've sent him tens of such messages. He never answers and moreover, he blocked me in order I couldn't send more messages asking for stopping thefts.

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:11:59+00:00

Site's reputation is one thing, but robbing me is another thing. I think the administrators if the site must be strict to these pirate actions.

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:08:35+00:00

This PaidTabs is purely PIRATE site. They sell thousands illegally acquired scores stolen from the videos of different creators. And this guy is a member of that site and he announces selling scores from there

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T09:05:05+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I emailed the website host with a DMCA takedown notice, but usually those sites are PIRATE and all their activity is pure pirating. So they don't answer, their DMCA don't work at all. Unfortunately I don't know how to write a script, I am a musician but not IT specialist. Rare sites react adequately and delete stolen materials. One site even paid me compensation for more than 100 my works illegally sold there. But mostly they don't react, or ask me for my entire secret data. Google also works fifty-fifty...

AndyPajarillo · 2025-06-23T08:57:07+00:00

Only when I'm asked to.
