I never used it much myself. That said, it's unfortunate to say the least that it's happening because of people abusing it.
Let's not blame some people that used a cool niche website to put up transcriptions of 88 year old Django and Grappelli songs so that some kids can learn it. I think it's happening because greedy music companies and copyright laws designed to protect huge corporate profits, not the actual small artist.
Yeah fair enough. Let's not make it all innocent and altruistic either.
That's a shame, I'm one of the small but loyal users of the site, I've got a lot from it. It sounds like Adrian is taking this step because of the amount of work involved in responding to take down requests rather than being sued, which is fair enough. I've done this myself as it happens, I've had a few books published in my time and when I find them on sites like Scribd I send them a take down request, which they always comply with, but that's still work for someone to do and I don't get the impression that there's a big team sitting behind Soundslice, which has never charged or taken ads for its community section.
There's a hopeful note at the end which suggests Adrian is working on an alternative so fingers crossed that works out - and if it doesn't thank you @adrian for everything, it's been a brilliant site and I've learned a lot from it.
I’m not totally clear on what is actually being shut down here. Whenever I want to learn a new tune, the first thing I do is a Google site search of Soundslice.com to see if anyone has posted tabs for it. Is that the part that is being shut down, so all I will be able to see are the tabs I created myself?
That’s what the statement seems to say
