This is one area where copyright law feels just so out of touch. Musicians make money from their music, not printouts of their lyrics. It just feels different here. We have an exception for trademark when it comes to satire, we should have a similar exception when it comes to lyrics to songs for personal use. For example, CocaCola using lyrics as part of a commercial I understand the licensing angle. But when it comes to a site like Genius where the primary use is by fans trying to understand what was said and why it just feels wrong to stop.
