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?

Hahah that made me laugh.
Also I'm not against sharing tabs, I think the internet is a nice free place to exist, and you should share what you want, etc.
I don't have perfect pitch, and I can't play by ear. I just listen to a song, hear the chords play them, and then apreggiate or add notes according to how its performed, it takes no longer than 10 minutes. It's not a gift.
And it probably takes the same ammount of time to go turn your PC on, search for the tab, find a decent tab (especially if it's a rare one) and then sit and read the tab, then figure out the tempo, rhythm, strumming etc.
It's all a bit wooden and mechanical for me, and I really don't think it takes much effort to tab something yourself. Fair enough someone who's partially deaf though!
I was only jesting when I said "Ban them" though, I just disagree, I wouldn't want to stop anyone!
