- 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.
