It looks like the MPA has shut down the Powertabs.net archive again last month due to copyright infringement. I still have a hard time understanding when a person transcribes a tune it is harming an artist or record/publishing company...especially if they do not sell it. I've found many tabs that simply do not exist in music book form. I seem to remember a few years ago when the music industry went after midi and lyric sites on the same argument. We all learned by imitating our favorite artists whether by ourselves or by an instructor tabbing out a part for us. So am I to understand that showing a student a piece of music from a recent popular tune is now illegal?!!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

How about if the cover band is playing a small venue like a private party/wedding/prom/talent show for free, etc. It just seems that the whole argument is very shakey at best when applied to music (or art) that is someone's interpretation of another's work (or in the case of powertabs, used to study someone's work)...as long as the original artist is credited with it?
