Recently www.mxtabs.net has been closed. Most musicians that used tabs from mxtabs.net would know this. It has been shut down because of the sheet music industry; I am not going to get in to full detail about this, but for more information about this please visit www.mxtabs.net.

It is a crime what the sheet music industry has done. If you believe www.mxtabs.net should be put back online please post a comment, and add http://www.myspace.com/mxtabsmovement as a friend(DON'T for get to add your name at the bottom!), OR if you do not have myspace and you would like to support the cause u can Personal Message me with what you want to say on myspace and your name for the petition. PLEASE HELP OUT THE CAUSE AND RAISE YOUR VOICE AND TELL THE SHEET MUSIC INDUSRTY THAT THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO SHUT DOWN TAB SITES!

PROMOTE TAB LICENSING!
