O.P. Bad news for guitarists
Well i'm a drummer but i feel sorry for you guys i've always loved guitar and watching people learn its great but now that the MPA have decided that Guitar Tabs are illegal copyright infringing stuff i think they've taken thigns a step too far

there's an editorial on neowin if you'd care to read http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=34874

I hope it gets sorted out, i don't think music should have companies much more tahn a record label with producers etc and a supplier

I've never met one band member who gives a shit if you say you downloaded their songs, i think its great that i get to find out about new bands, i've discovered so many bands that i now own the albums too and have seen live many times (which i think really shows your support for them anyway, i'd love to actually see my fans and play for them rather than a statistic)  and in some cases made friends and hung out with the members, (electric eel shock for one ^_^)

I've had sooo much fun with friends and music tabs, learning how to play songs and jamming out that i really think musicians need to stand up against these companies and basically tell them that music is for everyone and should be spread and heard around loudly and freely, sorry to sound like a hippie but i just feel many great times for future generations will be lost now if they get their way

based on that, lyrics should also be illigal, along with singing along to the radio

it isn't illegal, the MPAA has just decided they'll take people to court for it. they don't have the ability to say what you can and can't copy, you're still protected by the digital millenium copyright act fair use of media clauses. and i remind you, this is all america-only.
