The license is basically a death sentence (or alternatively a fragile lifeline) if the lyrics page is not being linked to. Former content producers for the open web have turned to content producers for Google. This is how serfdom works
- aahortwwy 6y agoYou could've chosen a better example of "content producers for the open web" than lyrics websites. Musixmatch didn't write Money For Nothing.
- adriancr 6y agoLyrics are not produced by the page hosting them, if anything those are a cancer of ads and malware that I steer away from. Google can probably do voice recognition now on songs and get the lyrics without outside parties (see youtube cc which is pretty good). Or they can strike a deal with music companies to get lyrics when they get the songs...
- sukilot 6y agoYou've got it exactly backwards! Lyrics are copyrighted. Google is the serf here, renting lyrics from musixmatch.
