America is starting to suck

mxtabs.net and powertabs.net (two of the best tab sits on the net) both are being shut down because of threatened legal action. What's lame about this is that the tabs are INTERPRETATIONS of how to play the song, I supposed there are people that copy the official tabs and post them, but still. AGHHH.

Yeah, I saw that on LiveNirvana.com's forums. That's truely awful. It's not just the tab sites, but lyric sites too. Most of 911tabs.com's links still works, but I'm sure that it will be shut down soon as well.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can use Archive.org's version of Mxtabs.net. I'm checking now...

But 911tabs.com doent actually host tabs, does it?

Sparky · 12-17-2005, 07:59 AM

No, it doesn't, but it links to many tab sites, most of them still functioning.

Like they're fucking poor.. fucking greedy rich bastards ..

To me, music has always been a free form of expression; it should be shared with everyone.
This seriously shows how terrible industry has made what once was the voice of the soul into nothing more than another income of money for greedy fucks in suits. If learning and playing music isn't free, what will be?

saint seiya · 12-17-2005, 12:20 PM

aww fuck no wonder i couldnt go to mx tabs, man this is sad

I would say that greedy corporate America is starting to suck more.

ninefivezero · 12-17-2005, 01:08 PM

Greed has always sucked... just look back at the industries of 100 years ago.

It's still a great country. I'd love to know where you guys would rather live...

ThatHideousStrength · 12-17-2005, 07:49 PM

There are plenty of places to go.

Well, I encourage all that wish to leave to do so and quit your crying.

Hey, I just see things and tell them the way they are. Although some aspects of the US suck, I'd still rather live here than in Cuba: Part II (AKA Venezuela), but just because the US is great doesn't mean that it doesn't have its flaws. Just get rid of greedy corporations and we'll be better off....

MSP · 12-18-2005, 02:14 PM

Sure, it has flaws just like every other nation on Earth. Maybe if people started having pride in their country and working towards positive change things would be better.

Just yesterday I gave a crazy Asian kid an extra seat on my flight to LA. I had an entire row to myself and could have taken a nap; instead I performed a random act of kindness. Then I saw his buddy across from me digging around in his nose like he was searching for the Treasure of Sierra Madre, which kinda killed the moment...

Bad news, dumbass. Greedy corporations are the reason that we have such a high quality of life in the most free country in the world. And they built everything you see.

Not that anybody has spent a dime on preserving it over the last 30 years, as our infrastructure rots and rusts as if both government and corporate citizens are trying to squeeze out the last bit of prosperity for us on an artificially discounted basis. Looks good for the President, the Governor, and the stock price, and is very satiating in this culture of short-term gratification, but is unsustainable.
