1. Comment - Music Industry to Attack Lyric, Tab Sites

   (Dec 25, 2005 - 10:10 AM)

   I can't believe this. I started off playing bass four years ago and started off by getting the tabs to Pixies songs. If I hadn't done that, I would be an absolutely s***e musician right now.
   
   I also have to point out that MUSICIANS DO NOT MAKE A LIVING OFF TAB BOOKS AND SHEET MUSIC. This law trivialises music and as many people have said it's going to make it a lot tougher for beginners. It'll cost anybody who can't work out by ear a fortune trying to get tab books for every song they want to play and in the long run will probably discourage people from taking up instruments and will probably cause the music industry to spiral even more. Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic, but I know I won't ever buy a tab book, and I doubt many people I know would buy them either.
   
   "Bite chew suck away the tender parts
   I want to break it up I want to smash it up I want to f**k it up
   I want to watch it come down
   Maybe afraid of it let’s discredit it let’s pick away at it"
   
   (ironically I got those lyrics from an "illegal" website, come sue me, MPA. Wait a second - does that mean that I'm not even allowed write up lyrics that I hear from the song here? Because surely this isn't a legal lyrics site either.)
