Guitar instruction sites shut down by music industry | The Register

More on tightening control on any kind of information. Tis somewhat like the asshat that got the copyright to the song “Happy Birthday”. Now nobody can sing or play it without paying through the nose. Soon nobody will be able to type or speak without paying for each word uttered.

Personally I want to copyright the words “a, an, and, as, is, was, the, and idiot”. I figure with an income of 1 to 2 cents for each utterence or typing of the above I can have a rather large income in just a few days.

If that doesn’t make sense, well this crap the NMPA and MPA is doing ain’t exactly right either. They “say” they give a bit of each royalty payment to the song writers. I bet they do, just like the RIAA and MPAA give a bit of the royaltys to the artists and writers/actors. Sure they don’t. They use it to keep themselves in these do nothing jobs at redictulous salarys. And lets not forget the amount they pay the lawyers to issue the takedown notices… 🙁
