What I've Done: The Original Transcription

The Los Angeles-based rock band released the carrier single, "What I've Done", from their third album, "Minutes to Midnight". It was on April 3, 2007 here in the Philippines when it happened. And a few hours from its release, I tried to transcribe the musical intsruments, especially the piano and guitars. Luckily, I've made it, as shown on my official ultimate-guitar.com contribution.

But the problem is that, I certainly don't know that I can make money out of the transcriptions that I have contributed through my very own blog. In fact, some of them are one of the top results in search engines(e.g. Google, Yahoo), (I don't know in some other countries and territories), just like those serach tags enumerated below:

* believe me chords
* remember the name chords
* what i've done chords

You can easily identify them as mine for some reasons:

1. It is from ultimate-guitar.com
2. My name "Rudolf Abunda" is included in the submitted transcription.

And what makes it worse is that, some people have literally plagiarized it, as in they do the copy-paste stuff. Sometimes, they even delete my name, which is always included in my transcriptions.

Music Structure

I've just started creating a blog with a help from my dad's former officemate. Many people have invited me about this thing called "blogging". I really love criticizing music, especially its music structure. I have a lot of stuff to share with, and I'm proud to say that I've not found even a very single thing describing the music structure of a certain music artist, particularly Linkin Park. Because I'm so familiar of LP's music structure, my posts will be more on the said rock band. But there's one problem. As said by those who invited me about this stuff, I'm gonna earn out of what I'm gonna post on my blog. And I don't know how to earn out of those stuff that I have made, until the day that I found one of the former officemates of my dad, and he shared me some details regarding with this stuff.
