“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but my partner-in-crime, Eyolf, has more or less shut down his Dylan site. The reason: the American Music Publishers’ Association’s (MPA) new strategy concerning tab sites like ours.”
The Bob Dylan site mentioned is dylanchords.com, and contrary to what the Digg title says, the MPA didn’t directly take down the content. The webmaster Eyolf decided to take down the tabs to avoid any trouble in the future.

I just read the following over at Digg. I noticed a lot of comments in the Digg thread about how the RIAA will be cracking down on lyricsfly.com. First of all, it’s not the RIAA, but the MPA (as I mention in Clearing up some confusion). And second of all, lyricsfly.com doesn’t have any ads, so it’s low on the music industry’s list of priorities.
Very cool lyrics site with auto suggest artist, song or album as you type in the search box. No ads, no popups and no big graphics. Just plain search box. Looks very much like the front page of Google. It’s also quite fast. Almost every search I did was just over 1 sec. This one definitely goes on my bookmarks.
