I respect the rights of owners of publishing rights to make money off their intellectual property.
I think that in this case they are being blinkered or unimaginative in finding a way to do that.
I would think that any 'Greatest Hits' compilation released with each song tabbed out in a .pdf as a 'feature' would sell like crazy. It'd put money in everyone's pocket from the publisher to the artist down to the session guy with a good ear who gets hired to do the tab.
Or they could do i-Tunes/Napsterize OLGA, scrub the tab (or start from scratch) and charge a couple bucks per song.
Maybe this push on OLGA et al. is a sign that something like the above is coming, much like it did soon after Sean Fanning and co. got zapped.
