If I am reading it correctly, they are mostly interested in those sites offering "sheet music?" Wonder if they will go after the BBC's virtual sessions tunebook...oh, yeah, those are all trad.LOL

I would not like to see my brother's classical scores suddenly available for download, but that is NOT where most of the money comes from anyway; that, and they are huge anyway.

Any songwriter should have the right to make their stuff available, if they so desire, regardless of what their publisher may say.

This will be interesting to watch. That fellow seems a little over the top, hoping to throw in jail time, too. Wonder what kind of percentages he is sued to sharing with the songwriters/composers. Self-publishing eliminates poeple like him. The writer/website owner of No Media Kings has some interesting stuff to say about leaving a major publishing hosue to self-publish his own books. Not music, but still relative, imo.

Thanks,
