Interesting to see the roles reversed.

Didn't Google complain that Bing was copying their results a couple of years ago ?

Is it possible to have a middle ground ?

I can see both points of the argument :

- Genius does not own the lyrics, in most cases these are entered by users afaik. A similar example would be somebody adding an address/info on Google Maps.

- On the opposite end, associating a query like "that song written by blue haired 80s singer" to an actual result sounds more like a transformative work (although google owns user entered information as well here with the database of all the queries entered by users).

Would it be possible to have a framework where you can purchase such data at a fair price ?
