We are doing this to protect the interests of the creators and publishers of music so that, the profession of songwriting remains viable and that new and exciting music will be continued to be created and enjoyed for generations to come.

This is the fucking biggest bullshit I've read for ages. And a bit later, it even includes the starving artists and families bit.

Many of those who have written to us have expressed frustration at the possibility of losing access to "free" guitar tab files that have been posted on various web sites. While it is true that tablature for some of the songs on these sites have not yet been produced legally by a music publisher, it is the presence of the unauthorized free product that is largely to blame for that situation.

... r.i.p. olga.net :(

Okay, so if they stop spreading tabulatures, music publishers will publish the tabulatures to all songs.

Is that a promise?

garg: that happened with mysongbook.com too :(
now we have to buy our tabs from shady looking guys at street corners, or a half-legal russian site.

i hope someone will pick up the pieces that are not copyrighted and put them online again.

or whistling a melody in public (it really wouldn't surprise me if someone already got sued over that, though)

Soon the fucking artist asociations will make us pay even for singing in the bathroom.

Maybe the solution to all these "crimes" is just to forbid Internet.

Music and movie industry is the shit. What they tell is something like "we've been earning a lot of money for decades, and now new technologies are killing us". Well, thats right, but this is true for ANY business, no business (except Coke) works forever. The main difference is that for music and movie industry laws are set up to continue making them money without any improvement. If I have, for example, a restaurant, and for years it works great until the same recipes I use are created for microwaves home use, and then people start to cook similar food at home. Then what, a law to forbid people eat at home and make them go to my restaurant? Or what? In that case I should renew my business, maybe creating new recipes, maybe selling something else, maybe adding more quality to my products... why shouldn't it be the same with music and movie?

You don't understand. The solution to "this" problem is to produce our own music, graphics and entertainment. And not buy any of that other shit ;)

this entire debate is retarded from all aspects.

however, as julien and others of the pirate party use to say: "if you have a law that criminalize the majority of the youths - then you will soon enough have a society operated by criminals"
