There was a lawsuit that involved stealing intellectual property in Germany. A company accused google of stealing lyrics from their page [0].
They managed to prove in court that google actually took their texts by embedding a Morse code. They used ' and ` as Morse characters in their lyrics to mark their property.
However, as far as I know, they lost the case anyway because the judge rules that the lyrics doesn't belong to the lyrics page, but to the song owner.
