Has anyone noticed that a lot of guitar tab sites have removed their tabs?
Taborama.com - "Tabs and lyrics for signed bands have been removed while we investigate possible copyright infringement. Please refer to the forum topic HERE to learn more and voice your opinion on the matter."
"The music industry is to extend its copyright war by taking legal action against websites offering unlicensed song scores and lyrics.
The Music Publishers' Association (MPA), which represents US sheet music companies, will launch its first campaign against such sites in 2006.
MPA president Lauren Keiser said he wanted site owners to be jailed.
He said unlicensed guitar tabs and song scores were widely available on the Internet but were "completely illegal".
Mr Keiser said he did not just want to shut websites and impose fines, saying if authorities can "throw in some jail time I think we'll be a little more effective"."

Anyone now think all music in the future will be either purchased at extortionate record company prices, or entirely illegal?
Gig's might be illegal as the bands are breaking their OWN copyright..
