I think po8 puts it best...
Just when we're hearing that the Music Publishers' Association is demanding jail time (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4508158.stm) for folks who put up lyric sites, we get Google blithely putting up...a lyric site index. I know they're claiming that their partner sites are providing these, but my first hit was on lyricsfreak.com, which I suspect is hardly legal. It's like Google is daring folks to sue them. Awesome.Also, an article on the cease-and-desisting of PearLyrics (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/81101/music-giants-bear-down-on-lyric-search-apps.html).
