OK, maybe my gold example was not so good. But in what way is Google licensed? The lyrics in text format do not exist. So the 'rights owners' license something that provably does not exist and they do not have? That is valid how? Which means the license covers a process Google is allowed to apply to the recording. Since Google gets stolen lyrics I doubt their license covers that.
