I believe he's saying you can't accuse an unrelated third party of stealing the lyrics from you, because you don't own them in the first place.

- giancarlostoro 7y agoThis is what baffles me the most. However if you are directly fetching them from someones servers you should at least provide attribution if you are wasting their resources.
- p49k 7y agoYou should provide more than that. It’s not just server resources but data entry and proofing and whatever else goes into making their product. Genius pays royalties for using the lyrics - I don’t see why the fact that they don’t belong to Genius is relevant. If Amazon licenses a TV show that Netflix also licensed, it doesn’t give them the right to copy Netflix’s UI, descriptions, transcoded/edited video streams, etc.
