so yeah it must be ok
They didn't say yes either. 
I would say wait for a mod or bondings to answer. Don't lose your account over somthing silly.

I'm sorry, but it isn't legal to put guitar tabs on your website. A lot of website owners are getting sued for putting them on their websites.

Maybe they have a license. If not, then they might get sued. And not just a bit.
There are currently plans for componies offering licenses for lyrics/guitar tabs for 2-5$ per thousand views. And I heard about a lot of sites having to shut down. They are really exagerating in this case.
it would be okay if i got permission from the author, right?
