This is just stupid. I dont really know what else to say other than that..
-
That is so stupid!
I have both tab books and downloaded tabs; sometimes the download isn't accurate enough. But to stop people from making tabs is just plain silly.
-
This story comes up every few years and every few years some guitar tab and song lyric sites get shut down.
OLGA (Online Guitar Tab DB) was shut down about 8 years ago but it came back agin.
Hope they don't shut sites down for good. :(
-
sigh.
where do i get my official song book of a black metal band from Finland who only have 2 self financed albums released?? bar-stewards!
They are confusing the issue with mp3's...
Someone tabbing out what THEY HEAR when listening to a piece of music is wrong? Ok well every music class in the world is breaking the law and teaching kids how to be criminals...
:roll: :roll:
-
More laws being enforced by people who understand nothing at all about the industry they're in except how to take money from people.
-
argh copyright law is being taken far too far nowadays - people are just in the game for the money. All passion is gone from the music :( (on the mainstream anyways)
-
what a bunch of $%&#ing idiots
-
If they succeed then muso's should just not buy the "official" output. Go back to the old way, try and work it out from listening to the recordings. It wont happen but it would in an ideal world.

Step forward Simon Cowell!

As I have said somewhere else - maybe the balance should be equalised and it become a serious criminal offence to put out poor quality musical products - that way all these music industry losers (well gainers, actually!) can sit at taxpayers expense in prison as well.

:D It`s a sign of the times i`m afraid. The music industry is in total disaray. There about to release the sales figures for the last year & there well down on previous years. [ Xmass ] Again the industry has completely misunderstood it`s own market. What so this is going to stop someone on this web site [ or anyother website ] asking everybody for help with songs ?
This is just one of the desperate measures that a dieing industry is taking to try & save it`s self. :roll:
Any thing other than creating more record companys, increasing the radio stations so you lot can actually get your music signed & airplayed, create more magazines so that you lot can get interviews to let people no your out there, force more Pubs to do original material so that theres somewhere for you all to play once you`ve been interviewed, & had your music played on the radio. That`ll help create more sales not trhis F***ing Cr@p !!!
:D 8)

Don't these guys have something better to do?
Banning tabs and lyrics from the internet won't make me buy books. I'll figure it out for myself, like I did before the internet.
I really don't think the music industry and artists lose a substantial amount of money on internet tabs and lyrics.
-
The thing about this that really irks me is that this is the same music industry, that when losing sales due to illegal downloading/file sharing of mp3s, claims that such piracy is endangering the future of recorded music. That may be so, but the industry likes to paint itself as being concerned almost solely with the the sustained creation of art and music, yet actions such as those listed above don't seem to correlate with such principles. Once again, the industry has shown itself to be concerned with little more than money...if the record industry was in such bad shape then would record company CEO's be driving around in limousine's, living in mansions? Would Robbie Williams have an £80,000,000 record deal? Would Mariah Carey have signed a similarly large deal, only to be dumped after two albums with a multi-million dollar severance package?
I am fully aware that the music business is concerned solely with profit - it is an industry and I understand that. I just wish that it would stop trying to make music lovers feel sorry for it when they continually fail to understand what it means to love music, to listen, study and absorb it.
Today's transcribers are tomorrow's musicians.
This is like suing a kid in the park who's wearing an England shirt with 'Beckham, 7' on the back for assuming a false identity...it's ridiculous.

The posting with the link to the documentary "The Way the Music Died" that I posted a while back is worth watching if you haven't seen it. It's very interesting and covers a lot of what's being discussed here.
-
Go back to the old way, try and work it out from listening to the recordings.
That's what I usually do anyway. Virtually all the internet tabs I've looked at are just plan wrong.

Yeah alot of them are, but sometimes they are helpful if you are really stuck!

LOL! :lol:
"Britney Spears, for crimes against music and good taste, we hearby sentence you to one year's singing lessons and forbid you to listen to dance music ever again. And put some clothes on."

I paid $60 for an Eric clapton Unplugged music book only to find out it had only what Eric played.
If anyone has seen the DVD all the songs are a DUET.
60 BUCKS FOR HALF A SONG... The MPA can shove it, I'll downlaod whatever I want.
(Childish, purile but altogether satisfying rant) :roll:

greedy pieces of sh*t. what are they going to do next, stop bands from playing cover versions because it infringes on some sort of copyright?? regarding the prison sentence issue, i don't believe these people are qualified in law so who do they think they are? *gets off soapbox*
