"The music industry is to extend its copyright war by taking legal 
action against websites offering unlicensed song scores and lyrics.

The Music Publishers' Association (MPA), which represents US sheet music 
companies, will launch its first campaign against such sites in 2006.

MPA president Lauren Keiser said he wanted site owners to be jailed.

He said unlicensed guitar tabs and song scores were widely available on 
the internet but were "completely illegal".

Mr Keiser said he did not just want to shut websites and impose fines, 
saying if authorities can "throw in some jail time I think we'll be a 
little more effective". "

No problem, pretty soon Sony's "rootkit"-based DRM will soon have 
completely trashed everybody's computers and they won't be able to read 
the sites anyway.
