    This paper examines how guitar learners and educators use VKontakte (VK), a Russian social network, to share copyrighted guitar method books (e.g., Berklee Modern Method, Pumping Nylon, The Advancing Guitarist). It analyzes the legal status of such sharing under Russian and international copyright law, the motivations behind peer-to-peer distribution, and the impact on self-taught guitarists. Data is drawn from observing VK communities, user comments, and a small survey of guitar forum members. Findings suggest that while unauthorized sharing is widespread, it also enables access to learning materials for musicians with limited financial resources. The paper concludes with recommendations for publishers and educators.

    Let’s be honest. If you search for "guitar books vk" , 90% of the results are copyright infringements.
