let me present you a real bastard...

[opethpainter]

...is the person who used MY windowpane tab, copied it at 100% without changing anything, and posted it on www.metaltabs.com using his name, xmayhemx or something like that...

and he added also "i tabbed it for you true opethfans"... ha! fucking LIAR!

fuck, i simply can't believe that. so i want you people to know that opethfans are not so good people as someone would expect... well, not from this point of view, i mean.

i know one can do everyting with txt files, but to be sincere, it's the first time i see a stolen opeth tab...

so, be aware of that when you meet this man, guys

complain to the site or something. did u have the copyright disclaimer at the top of the tab?

I know it must be shitty to feel like u get unrewarded for all ur work, but its just a tab anyways... nobody really gives two shits who tabbed it, unless you post it privately, like here.

Is it 100% identical? Like the way it's presented and stuff?

 

[Akronaes]

I think if the admin of metaltabs.com got enough e-mails saying "WTF DOOD THAT TABS STOLEN", he'd probably do something about it.

That sucks that your tab got stolen but...it's not just "opethfans" that aren't as good people as you'd expect...it's 95% of the HUMAN RACE! I don't think it has anything to do with whether or not he listens to Opeth...
Anyway, complaining on here isn't really going to do anything...can't you contact the site administrator? Doesn't the person who submitted the tab have some kind of contact?

copywright ur shit or itll get JACKED!!!!

 

[Staffan]

oh, opethpainter so it is you who stole my tab! man, are you just saying this so that the people here will think it's your tab

 

[opethpainter]

well, i do not open threads to tell lies.

anyway, i'm 100% sure there's a thread i opened months ago, when i firts tabbed windowpane, and posted it here. also, that tab is on the opeth's domain page, and you can see in the news page when i sent it to nebularus. be aware that the last update is on the 16th of april, 2003.

do i need to say more?

People who steal tabs as their own work are the equivalent of "HUGE" fuckups.

 

[Midwinter_melancholY]

Maybe you have proof with the date of creation of the file. You can see that in "properties".

 

[opethpainter]

well, i registered and i wrote the right thing on the metaltabs.com forum... we'll see...

 

[Ermz]

But if its a text tab, there must be something relating them, such as exactly the same spacing, 'bar length' and shit like that.
