    Irrelevant. It’s up to musixmatch to pay the creators or supplier of their content, not Spotify.

        It’s not up to Spotify to pay the wages of the company that provides a paid service to them.

                  No one is gathering access to lyrics.

                  I never said they were. The verb I used was gatekeeping.

                  You know, like how Spotify locks access to them behind a paywall. The exact thing I just described.

                    Autocorrect sorry, supposed to be gate keeping.

                    Spotify isn’t gate keeping access to the lyrics - you’re free to look them up on musixmatch or any of the other lyric sites and services. They’ve simply added them to their subscription services. You don’t know what gate keeping means.

                    You also still haven’t answer how anyone “stole” anything? Who stole what and from who?
