"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.

 

[LegiTeamObstruxion]

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

 

[Marky-Marc]

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

 

[U.C. Berkeley]

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?

 

[kim c]

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

 

[Kelly W]

^ SATAN!!!!!

 

[Donalyn]

NOOOOoooo where am I going to get my tabs now?

 

[Jaff]

Damn Right..

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

 

[sp4nna]

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

****s sake. Idiot media.

 

[nicholexoxo]

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?

 

[Bob Sanchezel]

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 aRABpace and it'd be a money ****ting machine.

 

[kathleen O]

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

this is aggravating.

 

[hazeleyes4295]

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.
