    guitar tab and lyric sites shutting down?

    ugh.. looks like it
    month old news but fuck...

    from one tab site...
    This tab or lyric has been removed over possible copyright infringement.

    We are currently looking into methods to display this tab or lyric that abide by copyright laws.

    Mr Keiser said he did not just want to shut websites and impose fines, saying if authorities can "throw in some jail time I think we'll be a little more effective".

      The music industry is a bunch of fucking morons.. Instead of taking the internet for what it is.. opportunity.. They fight it every chance they get and lose millions more than if they used their brains and learned how to use the Internet.

        Funny, my friend was telling me the other day that his favorite guitar tab site had shut down without notice and he wanted to create his own.

        The music industry is retarded and every time they do shit like this I just get more and more tempted to stop paying for music.

            I am not really a regular visitar of guitar tab sites but I think that thing is just so fucked up.. Music should be shared to everyone.

                        ppfft music industry , bunch of fuck wits , i don't know how many times i have heard a song getting played on the radio/club/car/where ever , and though shit that sounds alright, so jump on google track down the lyrics find out what song it is then gone out and brought it , and also put in a request to the music director at work to purchase the song

                        but what is interesting , is that google is soon to launch a lyrics search , seems like the music industry is just clearing the path for google

                                  Oh no, that's bad because lots of kids who love guitars depend on those sites.

                                    yup...thats how I do it!

                                    Sooo much better than trying to figure out some shitty tabs that doesnt work!... With Guitarpro, you just play it, and you can easily see if the tabs are accurate or not!...

                                    I even tabbed a couple of songs that I am about to submit to mysongbook...(from the new Strokes album)...
                                    mmm my sig was too big... no more cool animation

                                      That is sooo fucking lame. So many musicians start out by learning tabs.. it's a little short sighted to take this away.. not that it will stem the flow of musicians really.. but record companies rely on them to stay in business.. shouldn't they be making it easier for musicians to learn instruments and study songwriting via tabs? Tab book royalties are obviously higher I guess. anyways.. it's not like theres not going to be a tablature.ru to make up the slack.
