Genius already has deals with the music companies for the licences required to display the lyrics.[1]
Someone stated under a different comment thread on this story that music companies will only provide the licence, so Genius has to source the lyrics separately.
But I do not understand how any of this is relevant to Genius getting their content taken by Google's contractors. If Google displays that content on their own website, no-one will click through to Genius.
