Fakebooks still persist these days in the shape and form of PDF torrents of songbooks. Just go on Amazon and search for your artists (e.g., Adele/White Stripes/Eric Clapton) and chances there is an official songbook for their albums and corresponding seeded torrent. With YouTube version/lessons of the songs and PDF of the song tabulature, someone can learn to play a lot of classic's and modern songs. I should also add, Eric Clapton shouldn't get mad as that's exactly what he did back in his teenage days (source: "Clapton" autobiography), playing back to the blues greats on his recorder and replicating their songs exactly without paying any royalty.
