or, it could just result in people becoming djs instead and making more bad techno! in theory i agree, but how many songs (classic or modern) came from theft; obvious or not. i gather that you mean for people to try to create music free from influence possibly? that's impossible unless you have lived in a bubble your whole life. sure, too many people try to play like eddie van halen, the beatles, pavement; but some people just want to play their songs and not compose....for them, there's tab. i can't read music, and neither can a lot of people, so it helps.
