I'll say it again: An extremely short-sighted attack on what ought to be deemed a fair use.

Will we hear from any of the artists on this one? Do we know where they stand on the issue? Seems to me they should love it if kids all over the world are learning their stuff. It sure can't hurt their album sales.

What I really don't understand is that many bands have the same tabs, especially the awesome Guitar Pro ones, right on their sites.

How is it that these lawyers can say this about the sites that simply collect them? I am still angry about this whole thing.
