I used to host this article. Somebody in Italy claimed to own the copyright ("literary heirs" of Carlos), and demanded I take it down, despite that Carlos clearly wanted it distributed far and wide. He's dead now, so he gets no say anymore.



I think the heirs should read the article ;)


He needed to put it in the public domain or something similar if he really cared.


> STATED by the Author in its 1986 version as intended for the public domain (and yes, stated again in 1992, despite having re-published this text in 1988, slightly modified, in his "Allegro ma non troppo" copyrighted collection).

Small print at the bottom of the page.


Then how is it that his heirs control the rights? Once in the public domain, it stays there.

They don't.
