Submission + - Is the music industry hunting tab sites now? (guitarnoise.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Guitar Noise, a popular site among aspiring guitar players, has been served a take down notice from attorneys representing the NMPA (National Music Publishers Association) and the MPA (The Music Publishers Association of the United States, Inc.) Perhaps the new frontier in the discussion of intellectual property rights online is the collection of sites that distribute tabs and sheet music that was reverse engineered by fans. Perhaps this is emblematic of a new trend of litigious exploits. The question that begs to be answered is whether the dissemination of lyrics and musical instructions harms the industry, and if it does, by how much.
