Anyone else heard about this? I forget the link, but it's like illegal now to post tabs without gettign legal permission from the bands for a specefic site. Same with lyrics

yah i guessed something was up when tab sites weren't working. oh well, it's better for us to learn it by ear anyway.
MPA president Lauren Keiser said he wanted site owners to be jailed.
Assholes.
"Unauthorised use of lyrics and tablature deprives the songwriter of the ability to make a living, and is no different than stealing," he said.
How the fuck is that possible? Not everyone who listens to a certain artist plays guitar or an instrument. So they can't be losing major amounts of money.
Stupid fucking cheap jerks.

That is sad. Cause I wouldn't have thought many tab-users would be making money off of it. You'd think the bands in question would be flattered people wanted to learn to play their music. Ahhh, the world today

Well that's annoying. Now I wish I'd copied the tabs down or something, I suck at learning stuff by ear.
