the time has come

wat a sad news to read today at www.ultimate-guitar.com, under this link http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/ultimate-guitarcom_the_last_stand.html.

apparently there's some stupid law in US tt guitar tabs being posted in these guitar tabs website has something to do with copyright infringment (tt's so media law) and tabs are demanded to be taken down. it's very sad cos many of the big guitar tabs providing websites are now tabless, like in www.mxtabs.com, www.guitartabs.com, among the few. personally i usually search for tabs at ultimate-guitar, but sometimes certain tabs sounds wrong so i'll have to go to these other sites like mxtabs. but i haven't been to these other sites for quite some time and it's only today tt i found out about this copyright problem.

mxtabs
Due to recent controversy regarding the legality of free guitar tablature on the Internet, MXtabs is temporarily unable to display this guitar tablature. We hope to be able to offer guitar tablature again in the very near future.

If you would like to support MXtabs in the meantime, please visit the new music review and music news site, Sputnik Music, which was formed out of the community forums.

this link shows us the letters between the site and the law http://www.guitartabs.com/nmpa.php
