As a lot of you are undoubtedly aware, the Music Publishers' Association (MPA) is trying to take legal action against internet tablature (TAB), and lyrics websites.

As musicians, we wish to learn out favourite songs, and how can we do this without the music? I for one will not go out and buy the "official" TAB/sheet music books, spending $20-$30+ on a book to learn maybe one song, for which the music is wrong a lot of the times anyway.

If you support this cause, please sign the petition, and leave any comments that you wish to get out there. Once we have a large list, we will email it to the MPA administration.

    • I like websites that have tabs because of them i have learned songs from lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and more and most of them don't have books and they are wrong if they do have books.

    • Having somebody learn your song should be an HONOR. You shouldn't try to keep people from learning your songs... unless they're really bad.
