What do you lot think about tabbing being illegal?

For those who dont know what it is basicly they are saying u cant post tabs because its stealing

I think its BS you can hardly find music books for the bands you like and its stopping people learning to play things

Yeah, they made it so tabs are piracy somehow. But MXTabs have added a disclaimer somewhere and all is ok :)

I personally think that using tabs is only ok up to a certain degree of skill on an instrument. Once you get to a certain level you should be able to listen to the music and pick things up

It kind of is stealing, because if a band wants to milk it and sell a book with all their tabs in, then sites with the tabs on already will be stealing their profit.
I don't think it should be illegal though...I mean if it weren't for tabs on the internet, I wouldn't be able to play guitar, as with many others.
