You may have noticed that tabs for several songs from rock band Boston, including their hit “More than a Feeling,” are no longer available on the MXTabs site. It’s important for us to be clear and honest with our users, and therefore we thought we should let you know the reason for their absence.

Recently MXTabs received a fax from Hal Leonard Corporation requesting the removal of songs written by the band, as they claim to have an exclusive print agreement with the band, including digital rights. The tabs were displayed on MXTabs through a direct license agreement we have through the Harry Fox Agency, which signified that Boston’s publisher had opted in to allow for tabs to display on MXTabs. However, given Hal Leonard’s exclusivity claim, and their decision not to license MXTabs themselves, these tabs have since been removed.
