Ironic that genius scraped other lyrics sites to bootstrap their business. Cute analysis can’t hide the basic hypocrisy here.

  I feel it's pretty typical for some of these companies who like to complain about other's unethical practices. Strongly reminds me of Crunchyroll.

    What's wrong with crunchyroll? I thought they were legitimate?

      NOTE: The following may not be correct... I might be wrong, but IIRC, CR used to be a fan-sub type of site; I don't recall if they hosted stuff, or just linked to it. When I first found them, though, that's how they seemed to be. But since then, I think they license all of their content now or something like that. I may be totally wrong here, keep that in mind...

        Reminds me of Spotify during the invite only service (2008ish?), when a lot of albums still had scene release tags in their titles from the mp3 scraping.
