| From the Where2sing.com forum: I understand that operating a website for the sole purpose of up loading song lyrics to the public for free is illegal, but that in itself is confusing to me because thay are quite openly doing it and getting away with it. But any written work which has been published is copyrighted, yet people quote them all the time. Sammo is quite right in asking the question 'does this also apply to the spoken word', cause if we're going to get pendantic about this it probably would - then oh what a difficult state of affairs that would be! You see 'intellectuals' making quotation marks in the air all the time in case they unwittingly use a collegues words, so they know they can get away with it as long as they ensure their audience knows its a quote.
Sammo made no financial gain from quoting those lyrics, and if it was as highly illegal as you say David, we would all be breaking the law every time we sang a song in public at karaoke, karaoke would be banned, and this website would no longer exist!!!!!!!!!! OMG
(Im beside myself with anticipation awaiting your over-technical and long-winded reply. lol)
