Default Re: Guitar Tabs?

I'm not sure if they were whining. I'm amazed that tall the tab sites weren't shut down, to be honest.

While I'm all for music downloads because I think people will still buy great records. In fact, i think music downloading improves record sales in that more bands get exposure even if the one hit wonder bands don't do as well. I think music downloading helps compensate for the monopolized radio market.

However, with gutiar tabs, I think it's quite different. If want tabs, you can usually eventually find exactly what you are looking for. I'm not sure of the deeper legal meaning of banning free tab sites, but I can tell you that the tab book companies have lost out on a lot of money. Their business has been hijacked.
