I was reading a discussion about UG and how their money-seeking practices are rather poor, for lack of better words.
Does anyone know if there is an open-source database of tabs and chord charts, or perhaps some kind of aggregator for community contributions?
I found this article while searching, seems like guitar tabs aren’t covered by fair use out of an antiquated standard.
That’s interesting, I just read a few lines… Does it say how UG has stayed in business? Do they write a check to Big Music?
Yeah, they “went legit” years ago and have licensing deals with a lot of music publishers now.
Ultimate Guitar has an article they wrote about that
*someone on their platform wrote about it, not written by UG in an official capacity
