Next week: The RIAA bans all people with musical talent from listening to songs, in case they play them themselves.
Following week: RIAA: "Those who sing songs in the bath, without even as much as an entertainments liscensce, are destroying the music publishing industry."
Also, I don't see how the RIAA has any right to make tab sites take down tabs that aren't for American artists. Personally, I put all my lyrics for my musical releases online myself and when I release my first folk album, I'm gonna publish the chord progressions and tabs. There is no fucking way in HELL that giving kids with meagre guitar talent the chance to play their favourite songs does anything but increase peoples interest in buying music. I mean, shit, my little sister just started playing the guitar, and not that I particularly WANT to hear mangled Garbage and Jack Off Jill songs blaring from her room at all hours, I'd never deny her the fun.
I know it's cliche, but if the music industry wants to save itself, it needs to stop ramming over-produced shite down peoples throats.
