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 Wink

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

That's fucking stupid. It's just a part of the song. Just like the lyrics. But people are allowed to post lyrics. Rolling Eyes
