NMPA Crisis

Everyone that knows me knows that I of course love music. I play guitar toot on my trumpet and have the ability to play drums. One of the ways that I learn my music is by goin on the net and looking up tabs. One of the reasons that tabliture was created was because it was a way to share from person to person how to play a song. It was written down with out using notes or musical symbols. Tabs now had its own language of music. The best thing about it was that it was free unlike written music. Now a few years later, the fuckin National Music Publishers Association comes along and say that it is illegal. WTF? Tabs were created so that they were legal and so that musicians that couldnt afford written music could look at tabs. I found out about this by going on the internet to get a tab for Bad Company's "Rock Steady" (good song) and a message come up from the manager of the web site that the NMPA was shutting down tabs. God damn media! Please help in the fight against the NMPA by going on www.guitartabs.cc and reading the front page article. If you searce a little further, you can do what I did and join the club to save tabs. Please help to save the education that is being lost by the NMPA who will most definatly burn in Hell and be good buddies with Satan. PEACE.
