"The music industry is to extend its copyright war by taking legal action against websites offering unlicensed song scores and lyrics."


http://powertab.com has gotten rid of tab downloading privilege.

are you ****ing kidding me? wasnt the disclaimer at the top of every tab enough? christ monkey.

christ monkey indeed... all the tabs are are an "authors interpretation".... just someone who worked it out and told everyone else....

Its lame, I can figure out tabs easily enough, but i'd rather not..

yeah exactly, wtf is that about "it deprives recording artists of making a living".. if their songs are popular enough to be tabbed and massively distributed than i think they're doing pretty good with money.... and btw i know this is off topic but does anyone know what happened to bungalow?

^ yeah ive been wondering bout that... noone seems to know....

^ SATAN!!!!! :mad:

NOOOOoooo where am I going to get my tabs now?

Damn Right..

I've noticed a bunch of sites taking down tabs.

But... Thats so stupid it doesnt even make sense. Its not even stealing, for the most part its just small unsigned bands doing a cover for a teeny gig. And even then its normally stated what song theyre covering.

****s sake. Idiot media.

I'm gonna cry. Learning how to play something was the cheapest Christmas present I could give anyone and I love powertabs I was actually starting to understand sheet music...wait...isn't it the band's choice on if they want their tabs to be posted?

nope, people just post what they think is the correct version. but then OHHH NO ITS THE MPA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THOSE POOR ARTISTS DON'T STARVE! bull****. how about they make their own site with 100% correct tabs on it, sell adspace and it'd be a money ****ting machine.

thank god i downloaded a **** load a couple weeks ago.

this is aggravating.

Its stupid and its not like the band isn't getting credit.

"Blink 182 - all the small things"
Not "billy smith - all the small things"

chirst.

Does this mean that they are going to ride our asses for the sharing thread? Because somewhere along the line the music was bought.
