GUEST,Inquiring Minds Want To Know Sharing guitar tab online being banned! (39) RE: Sharing guitar tab online being banned! 04 Sep 06


would free speech or copyright infringment come into play
if i say or sing the words to a song out loud and then tell another party the Key and chord placments???

or worse yet, show someone how to play the song on a
musical instrument?

is it copyright infringement to tape record a radio program
or tv program?

Hint: in case you forget, that was the SELLING POINT years ago
for tape recorders and later VCRs [record tv programs to view later] ..and then cd/dvd recorders [tv & movies]!

is it copyright infringment to play that recorded tape
or vcr tape to family or friends at a later date?

if i shell out $40 for a song book of lyrics and chords
can i let anyone else look at it or use it?

i let a friend borrow an instrument for a year he spent
in saudi arabia, he undoubtedly sang and played a lot
of songs on it - should he have sent in royalty payments?

i bought 500 records/cas tapes at an estate sale awhile back,
can i legally listen to them?

can i legally re/sell them?
