Lyrics, Lyricists and Licenses
We know you probably don't buy CDs anymore, and that you're not reading the lyrics from the CD case insert. That doesn't mean you don't feel the need to look up the lyrics from time to time, right? But when you go online to do that, have you ever thought about whether these lyrics sites have the right to publish those lyrics and make money off of the ads on the site? Probably not. In this episode Larry Miller speaks with the founder of LyricFind, Darryl Ballantyne, and songwriter Phil Galdston, about lyrics and lyrics licensing.
