> Ok this is enough, for a few months now, the Music Publishers’ Association or “MPA  have been taking down guitar tab and lyric websites. David Israelite, president of the National Music Publishers’ Association, expressed his so-called “concerns  by saying: “Unauthorised use of lyrics and tablature deprives the songwriter of the ability to make a living, and is no different than stealing…  This is insane. Since when has it been illegal for musicians to learn to play each other’s songs?

Seems the RIAA isn’t happy with just shutting down P2P sites, they want to kill the lyrics and tablature sites as well. I’m hoping all this negative press will force people to slow down on shopping CDs and showing the recording executives that we won’t tolerate this kind of behaviour.
