There is also the matter of copyright. If songs are being published and displayed on the internet, surely the artists who wrote the lyrics in the first place should be getting some kind of royalty payment for this. Songwriters give their blood sweat and tears often for very little financial reward and I can understand why these lyrics sites are being shut down. Also, a true fan should take the time to listen to their favourite songs 1000's of times to try and work out lyrics for themselves just like in the old days before the internet. I for one will not be signing the petitions to have the sites put back up. MTW _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
