When will the MPA realize that when you cultivate musicians you are in fact creating the best consumer of music products BAR NONE. I own 2500 albums, 800 CD’s, tons of PAID FOR Mp3s, well over $50,000 in musical equipment, tons of PAID FOR music books, instructional DVDs, and I go to concerts often.

Do you get it yet, MPA?

The problem is that the MPA is really a group of lawyers. The have an interest in continuing the legal battle. The artists are not being represented here. Only the publishers of PRINTED sheet music (a business that is doomed if it does not move from print to online) and LAWYERS.

Please get a brain MPA and move into the Internet age. Oh, and MusicNotes SLOPPY website with $5 tabs is NOT the answer. How about $0.25 tabs? Or how about a simple subscription. Every tab site would be on board with either plan and you guys would rake in hundreds of millions. Instead, MusicNotes reported 2.8 million for all of 2007. A drop in bucket compared to the money that could be made if you made FRIENDS with all the tab sites.

And as long as you have Ultimate-Guitar.com protected by Russian law, and the keyword “Guitar Tab” returns a splendid link arrangement at the very top of Google… well, MPA, can’t you see that you’ve already lost the battle? Why not join ALL the tab sites in a business arrangement.

What you’ve done instead is created these high priced ‘legal’ tab sites that are not going to catch on. If you were smart you would engage all the tab sites and collectively you would instantly have billions of page views a month and rake in the money — and that is how you best represent the ARTISTS that created the music.

That said, I’ve written both the MPA and the Harry Fox Agency (in kinder, more measured words) and never got a response.
