The music industry is to extend its copyright war by taking legal action against websites offering unlicensed song scores and lyrics.

The Music Publishers' Association (MPA), which represents US sheet music companies, will launch its first campaign against such sites in 2006.

This has been gonig on for a long time now. Their argument is that the lyrics themselves are copyrighted and therefore posting the lyrics constitutes copyright infringement.

Yeah, but now some tab sites arent letting you view tabs anymore
 
What assholes. Do they think really poor transpositions of a guitar parts are going to kill the sheet music industry? How are people supposed to learn to play guitar now? Good thing I grabbed the entire mysongbook.com archive for GuitarPro a week or so ago. MIDI sites are next.
 
Shutting down all guitar tab sites is insane. The only problem is that some people copy a tab straight from a purchased sheet music/tab book and post that online which I would guess is illegal.
