Some of you need to become better readers. Rapgenius isn't being sued. Also the lawsuit in question had to have been filed long before news of Rapgenius.com's 15 million dollar infusion. The idea is that if this website (liveuniverse.com) had a judgement entered against them simply for posting lyrics, then RapGenius has no chance of survival.

In the future, we will not be able to search for song lyrics unless we purchase the song to view the lyrics.
Money will be made around here in any form of way.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Its truly sad when you realize how much untalented people are making off of talented people. They cant let go either, because the system supports what they do through legislation.

Actually, a lot of sites and people receive albums for free just for the purpose of reviewing it. Not sure about either, but I'd think hiphopdx does because of their size and traffic
