I heard a little about this a while ago but never thought it would really happening. I guess this is why mxtabs and taborama have been down for a while. It's official now though, if you put tabs online, it's illegal. What's everyone's opinion on this?

That's shit, if I want to learn my favorite songs by my favorite artists, and there aren't any books to tell me, how the ****ing hell am I supposed to do it? It's bollocks I tell you, bollocks. It's unreasonable. Takes money from artists? How the **** does it?

i think most "artists" have enough money as it is.

It doesn't take money from artists, it takes money from the label. The label puts out the tab books, and the artists see very little of that money. And there's very little money to begin with because not many people buy the books. It doesn't really do much, because tabbers will have to buy/pirate the song they want to tab to tab it out or learn it.

1. He wasn't even saying Metallica wasn't influential or that they sounded bad
2. It doesn't matter how influential they are, they are assholes about licensing rights.
3. They are GAY with their record label.
4. It's ETC, not ECT (Et Cetera)

some cky stuff is cool cos its funny, eg skeletor vs beastman and the freestyle chinese rap. their rock stuff sucks ass. so does him.

By the way my name is anarchy cause i was origionally into punk but ive only just got into hip hop, well gangster rap to be more precise.50 cent, etc suck.

Yeah I saw a few weeks ago that MXtabs went down and when searching for other sites half were closed.

Blind Sheppard

To Anarchy.
Skeletor vs Beastman is not by CKY the band and neither is the freestyle rap, it's off the CKY videos made by Bam.

It won't stop tabbing, people just won't say what the band is who does it, there'll be some loop hole.

i dont really care that much at all. i mean think about it, they didnt have tabs back in the 80's yet people still managed to learn the songs without the sheet music.

Personally i think the music industry needs it's long deserved boycott; and i'm actually thinking of promoting it. They've gotten far to big for their briches, so i think it's time we loosen their bullshit belt ( hehe i made a pun)

HAHA! I just thought of the ultimate "Get Rich" scheme...

1. Go to a bunch of Tab sites. (Before they ALL get closed down)
2. Download as many tabs as possible.
3. Sell them to unfortunate artists at $10.50 a piece.
4. Get rich...or die tryin'
