Luckily for Google, Genius doesn't "own" any lyrics.

Seems like the law should be written so Google doesn't "own" any of their mapping data either.

They didn't create the roads, and there's no human actively taking the photos.

It's not like the law cares about effort when it sided with Google against Genius.

And Google doesn't own those buildings nor the architectural design.
