Also, the likelyhood of a) two people from this site being close enough to one another that people are going to hear the same licks from others or b)that both bands will become famous enough that everyone will hear them is so unlikely that i't's not really worth thinking about. Anyway, as useful as riffs can be, they're never going to be thee whole song (if it's good) and no two guitarists are ever going to interpret the tab the same wayy. I think the pros (helping others to learn new ideas) far outweigh the cons.

First, I'd like to congradulate you on your awesome job of spelling and mastery of english grammar skills. Anyway, that's exactly my point yet somehow you complete missed it. All I was trying to say was that if you care about a piece of your own writing that much and think that it has potential, then why would you post it online giving thousands of people the opportunity to capitalize it? Maybe the odds of someone taking it and turning into a Top 40 Hit are minimal, but say it does happen, you wouldn't be able to say anything. That's all.
