Not necessarily... if they "solve" the problem like EMI did for Radiohead's lyrics, you'll just have to apply for a free license every time you post.

they'd get an application from nikki every 1.6 seconds, and their venture would be so flooded and backlogged they'd give up!

My guess is that they've shut down temporarily until this blows over.
I hope.

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ is staying up.
According to their message board, they've got a license to share tabs. And as long as the tabs are done
by ear, it's completely legal. The only illegal thing is to share songs out of official books.
However, the loophole there is that anyone sending the tabs in can claim to have done it by ear, and just happened to get it perfectly right.
