MousePotato's Journal: RIP Powertabs.net

Well, it's official... the MPA has forced powertabs.net to shut down. This is arguably one of the worst examples of the power and abuse of the whole copyright/music industry issue. Powertabs.net was an incredible online community of musicians who were taking their time and effort to transcribe all sorts of music for the guitar, bass and keys in both traditional music notation and tabulature format. It was one of the largest sources of music transcription on the internet using the FREE & popular Power Tab Software. The community that was there was a terrific example of peer review and feedback to aspiring musicians who were learning their craft and learning how to transcribe music.
