think about how huge an amount that is and how much these companies are losing.
No offense, but did you even read the post? This isn't about illegal music downloads, it's about tablature. Tablatures are a way to show in text form how to play something. All tabs are just the transcribers intepretation of the song, not the actual song. If you write a song, you don't have copyright over the tablature. You have copyright over the song, and the lyrics and the music, but tablature is none of those.

All this is hopefully just a hoax, because if it's true, and they come to try and take my site down, I'm gonna sue then. All I'm willing to do is take down the lyrics, but the tabs will stay.
