BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Song sites face legal crackdown

Filed under: News, Culture — Chris @ 8:51 am

Our jails apparently aren’t full enough yet in the USA. Music publishers (not, ya know.. Congress or anything) wants jail time for people that make music lyrics available online.

Remember, every time you write down the lyrics of a song it deprives some poor, starving lyric publishing company that all those readers would have purchased from. Any conceivable way of making a buck should be ingrained in law with a stiff jail sentence, apparently.
