Both properly license their lyrics either directly with the rights holders or through 3rd parties which properly license the rights.
- jacquesm 3y agoYes, but that doesn't make them the rights holders or the rights holders agents.
- tssva 3y agoIt makes them properly licensed to use the lyrics which means the rights holders don't have cause to sue them.
- jacquesm 3y agoWhich they didn't. This is about Genius suing Google, and even if both of them are licensees that does not give either standing to sue the other. But it would give the original rights holders standing if the content were used outside of the license. Licensee != rights holder.
- tssva 3y agoThe part of your original comment I quoted was regarding the rights holder sueing them which came across as implying that the rights holder may have cause to do so. My response was attempting to point out that the rights holders don't appear to have cause since the lyrics are licensed.
