Music Publishers Organisation legal action

mpa want to shut down all major instructional music sites

Couldn't find any discussions about this topic.

What worries me is the following:

[news.bbc.co.uk...]

I don't know if anyone else here is concerned but this means we are likely to see some changes - there are to my knowledge loads of large TAB/instructional sites which will be affected.

To me this is the follow-up to the Napster issue.

Hi bstring

there was a thread in the Adsense forum about lyrics sites earning money from Adsense while showing copyright material where this was highlighted.

I like lyrics and tab sites and think they help promote the music. The problem is that the lyrics and music are copyright and I see no legal defence.
