Title: Mxtabs down because of "lawsuit" Post by: mrlee on December 25, 2005, 08:12:41 PM seems there being sued, probably by the music industry, for "copy right infringement". I think its pathetic how, even when all credits are listed to the band, song writers etc, they close down a tabaluture site. Basically all they want really is for everyone to buy there tabs books, i think its pathetic.
Thoughts on this? Title: Re: Mxtabs down because of "lawsuit" Post by: Evolution on December 25, 2005, 09:05:37 PM Complete bullshit. I thought something was up when i couldn't log on. That was a great site, it will be missed.
Lawsuits are so stupid these days :-\ Title: Re: Mxtabs down because of "lawsuit" Post by: mrlee on December 27, 2005, 09:22:26 PM yeah man, it sucks, i loved getting tabs of there to play, if it wasnt for that site i wouldnt be anywhere near as good on my bass as i am.

Title: Re: Mxtabs down because of "lawsuit" Post by: rock4life on February 02, 2006, 11:32:43 AM MxTabs was great, with the drums and bass tabs also there.
Pity the site sucks now. Title: Re: Mxtabs down because of "lawsuit" Post by: Mal Brossard on February 22, 2006, 11:38:28 AM I posted some crap about this a few weeks back. Apparently the RIAA is going after tab and lyric sites both, claiming copyright infringement, that only the original author of the music has the right to play it (which is why many tabs come with the standard disclaimer that it's only one person's INTERPRETATION of the song, not necessarily the song itself).
Complete and utter bullshit, I tell you. I hope all of this destroys the music industry as we know it-- it only has fucked over the fans and small musicians while helping the big name bands. Thanks for starting this crap, Ulrich. |
