You can't "steal" lyrics because the copyright is owned by the record company. Both Genius and Google license the rights I believe.
But if Google is not sending traffic to Genius and using Genius as the source for some of it's lyrics, that's shady as hell. That's anti-trust.
- daliusd 7y agoYou can steal some person's imagination what lyrics are. Misheard lyrics for example is extreme example.
