Song lyrics, guitar tabs, sites attacked by MPA

Hands off our tab!
They're a great resource for musicians who want to learn songs and develop their skills. Unfortunately they are now under threat as the MPA (sounds like MCP) wants to shut them all down. Have your say!

So the music industry is taking its war to song lyrics and guitar tab web sites are they? The MPA want the owners of web sites that publish lyrics, sheet music and guitar tabs to do some jail time apparently.

| 08-3-2007 | Why cant you see that these people do no harm? They just want to give us the knowledge of how to play a wonderfull song nomatter what the content.
