请问这句话where从句部分如何翻译？
where 表示“对比”，等于 whereas。表示让步或转折，用于句首等于though，用于第二分句等于but。比如：
Where some people learned to play the accordion for dances in their community, others took music lessons...
一些人学习弹手风琴，为他们社区里的舞蹈表演进行伴奏，而别的人则上音乐课。
Sometimes a teacher will be listened to, where a parent might not.
有时教师的话会听，而爸爸妈妈的话可能就不听。
The big difference was that where ideas were previously published in journals or books that a reader had to buy, now the same information could be published without cosplayt.
【翻译】最大的区别在于，以前作者的看法都是发表在读者需要购买的期刊或书本上，而目前同样的信息可以免费发表了。
