Learning tablature is a form of stealing?

This subject might of been places as a thread already, but I wanted to know for my self.

Is it true that recored companies have been claming that learning other people's songs, and learning tablature is the same as downloading music off the net? That learning someone's songs is a form of steeling music? I mean, if this is true, someone needs to get a good beating or law suit.

Even if someone learned a guy's song off the net, he couldn't go to a record company and make money off from playing someone elses songs. However, I do hear that other bands play songs that other people that written. Like at live concerts you might get a band that is playing someone elses song. But do they have to get permission from that band to play their song at a concert?

Well, just wondering and pondering and all of above.

no its not a form of stealing music. the argument is that it affects the sales of sheet music and tab books. so the record companies lose money. even though a lot of the bands dont have books. load of **** i know but we cant dop anything about it.

Man that is just wrong, these recored companies have too much power I think, they make enough money to do fine. But yeah, we live in a world that is all about green paper.
