I found out about this a couple of days ago when a buddy of mine went to look for some guitar tabs on a site in school and found that they had all been removed.

I'm getting really sick of this kind of bullshit. I don't understand how lyrics and tabulature (Freakin FAN MADE tabulature) infringes on the song writer's copyright. It's not like they're taking the exact down to the note song and putting it up.

Hell, Blind Guardian has links to tabs that are hosted right there on their site. A lot of bands do. It should be taken as a complement. This isn't the bands themselves, this is just the money hungry publishers. God this is such bullshit.

The corporate world is rapidly devouring the internet.

What should be our greatest tool for free speech is turning into a war zone with the Corporations opening fire on everything.

If they're attacking such simple things like this article says, then we are simply doomed.

We are doomed only so long as we choose not to fight back.

We just wait for them to come to us, then if things do get serious, that's when we involve the media, or do I got that backwards?

I like this part:

"The Xerox machine was the big usurper of our potential income," he said. "But now the internet is taking more of a bite out of sheet music and printed music sales so we're taking a more proactive stance."

They want to attck bloody photocopiers too! :¬ \

No, we go to them, write your local lawyers and representatives, make noise.

If we sit back and take this sitting down, it can only get worse.
