There seems to be of noise about tabs from time to time, the last big song and dance they made was about having tabs that had both lyrics and guitar tab, that was deemed to be 'illegal', back then they said guitar tabs or lyrics seperately were ok. This time around they are trying to get rid of tabs all together, it's quite funny, tabs are just another way of showing how some music goes, it's like if you are walking down the street with your friend, and he says, "Hey, do you remember how the chorus to don't look back in anger goes?" and you say, "Yea, unforunately, it goes *sings*". You wouldn't expect someone to then jump you and say, "Hey! You can't do that! You are giving an vocal tab of that song, that's illegal!". So we are saying that singing is ok? So how about if they say do you know how to play don't look back in anger, and you jump on the piano and play it for them, would that be illegal? No? How about if they ask you how the chorus goes and you say, "G, F, G, F, E...." and so on, would that be illegal? Probably not still? So is the problem when someone says, "wait, a second, wait a second, I can't remember all that, let me write them notes down, G, F, G, F, E..." and suddenly oh nooooooooooooooo you are now crippling the record industry. Poor Noel and Liam are down to their last 10 million pound each, they can hardly afford to live.

Oh, and just for the record, just because someone says something's illegal, or they write something is illegal, it doesn't mean it is!

Nevermind eh?
