Topic: Who, Why?

Who would write a letter asking for chords of a song to be removed? Do these idiots have nothing better to do?

Re: Who, Why?

Sorry for the language - just annoyed at people blocking a few chords that do no harm. Nevermind. Chirdie.com still a great site.

Re: Who, Why?

Here's the one that craccked me up the most.  I had been playing "Drift Away" by Dobie Gillis fairly often.  The person who had done the chords for it apparently complained to the Chordie leadership, and it was taken down.  Now, I think that Per did the right thing taking it down.  He's running a site for fun and doesn't need the headaches of a copyright battle.  That's not the funny part.  The funny part is that the person who had put up the chords listed the song as Drift Away by UNKNOWN!  Unknown!  He's taking offense at someone reposting all his effort at pulling together a four chord song AND HE DIDN'T EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO GOOGLE THE GUY WHO PERFORMED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.   Sometimes, you've just got to shake your head ruefully and chuckle under your breath.
