The music industry is to extend its copyright war by taking legal action against websites offering unlicensed song scores and lyrics.

What's next.
If you post a quote, they'll prosecute for that too.

Come one, tabs and sheet music? This is too much, way too much.

They should add an extra note and lyric here and there, and call it a parody. But have something in the corner telling you what words and notes to take out.

This is just dumb.
