Dylan sheet music site boycotts Israeli web users in support of Gaza...

Israeli web users accustomed to surfing the site dylanchords for tabs and lyrics to Bob Dylan songs have recently been blocked from the IP address as the site operator has imposed his own cultural boycott on Israel after the flotilla raid at the beginning of last week.

The site is not the musician's official site, or even a site on his behalf. It is purely a fan site. In 2005, the site was shut down by the Recording Industry Association of America, but continued to operate under mirror sites.

The site, which identifies Israeli users by their IP addresses, redirects users to the webmaster's blog instead of presenting content. The person operating the site is a doctor of musicology from Denmark.

This is what was posted on the blog on Saturday: More...
