This occured some time ago now. I remember going to mysongbook.com to get GuitarPro tabs and they had a disclaimer up and had deactivated downloads.
You can use a bit torrent client and find large amounts of these tabs on the web though :D
Damn those greedy buggers anyhow.

Fair use doctrine anyone?
I sympathize with the industry on some things, but keeping kids from learning your songs? Come on. I can't even express how short-sighted and foolish that is.

My problem with targeting tab sites is that the users who have written/worked out the tab are not ripping anybody off its merely their interpretation of a song done in the spirit of education.
Some tabs are quite accurate, others aren't which shows that the tabs are personal attempts.
Hows about these wealthy record labels using some of their money to pull down some peadophile sites.
