Oh dear another ORG steps out of the shadows to demand folks on the internet desist from supplying something they are too lazy to and talk jail time for music lyrics/tab sheets, how pathetic.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4508158.stm The music industry is to extend its copyright war by taking legal action against websites offering unlicensed song scores and lyrics.
The Music Publishers' Association (MPA), which represents US sheet music companies, will launch its first campaign against such sites in 2006.
MPA president Lauren Keiser said he wanted site owners to be jailed.
He said unlicensed guitar tabs and song scores were widely available on the internet but were "completely illegal".
Mr Keiser said he did not just want to shut websites and impose fines, saying if authorities can "throw in some jail time I think we'll be a little more effective".
A picture of Mr Keiser can be viewed here.

As usual this is another public face of greed that feels safe in demanding and declaring how society should live by their rules and in caves.
