This is a tricky one. I am aware that in at least some sense there is
intellectual property involved, although I am not sure it is to the extent
claimed and I really am not interested in lawyer like arguments.
As an entirely practical matter, since I find it difficult to remember what is
taught (alarm: short term memory weakening!!), I take classes only with
teachers who do a useful video summary. If the teachers don't, it's a deal
breaker as far as I am concerned and I take my business elsewhere. In my not
inconsiderable experience (20 years now, over 50 festivals in the US and
Europe), most teachers are generous and giving in this aspect to their
interested students. A few may wish to take another attitude, and that's fine
by me as I long as I know in advance so I can avoid spending my tango dollars
on them.
Best wishes to all.
