Lyrics sites have been in the copyright crosshairs for 15 years now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Lyrics_Server http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Lyrics_Server It's not super clear to me how someone like Rap Genius is getting around this. Their policy page says they respect DMCA requests, but if they are unlicensed, they would get a DMCA request for every single page on their site. So my guess is some kind of blanket license to someone like the Harry Fox Agency. They have the money for it.
