PAGES: MPA “Crackdown” | My opinion of MPA and TABS

www.MxTabs.net
I have a pretty strong view of Tablatures and Sheet Music. MxTabs has yet again decided to close it’s doorway to nearly 150,000 musical tabs that had been available to musicians all over the world. To think, this gem started as a hobbie of some young budding drummer who wanted to learn more about playing. As it stands today, MxTabs hosts just a departing letter. The MPA has forced the musical phenomenon to close dispite accounting for over $3000 dollars in sales for Sheet Music publications (claims the admins of MxTabs).
MxTabs did not offer a transcribed copy of the published sheet music. It didn’t even offer illegal downloads of the music. It simply offered myself and all other musicians a way to share with the world how “WE” play a song. It seems like a dark day cast on the outlook of progressing musicians. I am still hopeful that the MPA won’t be allowed to get away with it!
LET’S FIGHT IT!!!
As far as I can tell, The best way to fight this issue that affects so many is to continue to TALK ABOUT IT and WRITE ABOUT IT! Give the representation of MxTabs a TRAIL ACROSS THE WEB of the countless individuals who are declaring the site is a GOOD and LEGAL RESOURCE. You can SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS and BE HEARD! Google “MxTabs” and you will find HUNDREDS OF POSTS of INDIVIDUALS AROUND THE WORLD that are all saying the SAME THING! “I would love to be able to share MY INTERPETATION of a new song with YOU! And vice-versa.” So CONTINUE TO BLOG and WRITE MXTABS IN SUPPORT! Sooner or later WE HAVE TO BE HEARD! –Rico B.
