Who knew lyrics were such a lucrative business?originally seen on digital music news via Prof. Matsuda
Have you ever used songlyrics.com, musicsonglyrics.com or any other lyrics sites? Did you know most of these sites are unauthorized and are violating copyright laws?
According to Professor David Lowery from the University of Georgia, unauthorized lyrics sites are a "booming business" with a "large percentage profiting from major advertisers".
A major problem is that most fans are unaware that lyrics are protected under copyright law and even if they were aware, they would not know where to access licensed lyric sites.
Do you think music publishers are going to crack down on these sites in the future?
