This is damn crazy! tabs are one of the singular most important invention i can think of. I don't understand how they can be illeagal, surely they are simply just a comunication of what is interpreted by a musician. it's effectively some dude telling you how to play a song.
what happened to the times when people WERE the music, and the music WAS the people. i say we should download loads of music illeagally and tab everything we see and collapse the industry. Take music and put it where it should be, in the comunity. Because you can't kill music, nothing can kill music, crumble the industry, whatever, but people will create music if they can't find it. Give the music man a fiver for his CDR. Music should be taught, and it shouldn't be confined to those who can buy loads of tab books.
Musicians should want to teach eachother. their target shouldn't be money should it?
Why should the industry take music away for people and hold it for ransom.
I want folk music man.
