LordReserei Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Hey peeps, I play the guitar in a Metal band and just recently heard that Guitar Tabs are now illegal because th MPA (Musician's Publishing Assosiation) has decided to extend the Copyright of scores, lyrics. ect anyone else a musician? I think it sucks, whats your view?
Bastila Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I hope thats not true i use quit a thew websites to get tabs i hope that doesn't happen.
CapNColostomy Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I don't use them, myself. Still think it sucks though.
LordReserei Posted January 6, 2006 Author Posted January 6, 2006 I know that mxtabs.net hasn't got tabs anymore and neither has powertabs.net. but http://www.ultimate-guitar.com stills has tabs on it.
FiEND_138 Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 A friend of mine was telling me about this a couple weeks ago. Complete bull****.
deathdisco Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Especially bad for beginners. At least I can figure stuff out on my own if I'm really motivated.
Olympus Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 You seriously have to be kidding me. I don't use them often but that's still a really low blow to the music community as a whole, and especially the beginners.
Darth Smaug Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Meh.. I use Powertab i rarely look at ordanary tabs.
Darth Smaug Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 WHAT? Yeah i know, making guitar tabs illegal is a bit rash. They help beginners play much better and understand better. As for me, i think this is just a fake rumour..
El Sitherino Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Click. Anyway, it's not just tabs, but lyrics as well.
90SK Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Bloody hell... And here I'm all like "maybe I'll learn to play that guitar next summer". Ha! Lyrics too? There goes my way of searching for music.
