To bad the music industry hired big guns to kill it. I would think artists would want their stuff to live on forever.

It orginally started at UNLV until people threatened to sue to the school. Then Cal Woods took it over and started OLGA. Then a number of other folks created free use sites, but got a lot of business from pop up ads and other advertising. That was recently shut off as well. Most of them anyhow.

It had a lot of songs *I* had tabbed out on there. I liked giving to the "free" internet, but I wasn't happy about my stuff out on the sites people were making money from. Guess I'm some sort of hypocrite.

Anyhow, it's a shame. Without the internet, I would have likely never learned to play guitar.
