Revisiting the Jan 22. article below regarding tab sites, the MPA has released a new statement on their site:

August 10, 2006 - Worldwide Music Publishers' Associations Pledge Support for MPA's Actions Regarding Unauthorized Publication of Sheet Music and Tablature

Since the Music Publishers' Association of the United States' announcement last December of its plans to educate and potentially take legal action against websites that illegally publish sheet music and tablature, several additional organizations worldwide have pledged support and offered cooperation in these efforts. These organizations include the MPA's of Australia, France, Germany and Great Britain, as well as the International Confederation of Music Publishers.

In June of 2006, the campaign was pushed forward exponentially through MPA's partnership with the National Music Publishers' Association. Both the NMPA and MPA are currently moving forward in the issuance of notice and takedown letters to infringing Web site owners as well as Internet service providers.

I've added a couple of new category related fields to the header information portion of the Power Tab file format with the hopes that it will help people better catalogue their files. These fields will eventually be added to the PT Librarian with full searching and filtering capabilities. What I need now is some input on the categories themselves. The goal is to keep the list of categories as small as possible. To view the lists, click the link below. If there are any categories that you think should be added, combined, replaced or removed from the following lists, please post a comment to the blog.

Thanks.
