Which case are you talking about when you are saying that Google was able to win? Are you talking about VIACOM vs YOUTUBE?

I thought napster taken down because they were sharing music files, aren't they? like mp3? That really hurts music industry. On the other hands, Lyric sites encourage customers to buy their music. if they like the lyrics, usually people buy the music.
Great thread. I love the ad placements of the blog, I've been in music blogging several years ago. The problem with this is that you always need to be updated with new songs plus the efforts for massive link building. This niche is very competitive and hard to target.
How many lyrics do you have in total? I've got a database of 1,727,510 songs and a legal database of of over four million mp3 downloads. If you're getting good traffic please PM me as I'd be interested in paying you for any sales your traffic can generate for me. Thanks
there is no way in hell that crap makes 5k a month. for a start, it's a blog - bespoke database driven lyrics sites that get updated 100 times a day would struggle to make that much money.
Lol you really underestimate blogspot blogs. Take Grizzly for example, he makes more than 3,000 a month with a blogpost blog. And there's a way to check if this guy is lying: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/lyricsmusicvideo.blogspot.com#trafficstats Check his stats. he getting a little over 10,000 visitors, which more than enough to support his claim
I agree with you. The fact that they are "rich" gives them all the resources they need to sue without lifting a finger.
i think its very impossible for a single site to earn $200 a day specially to those who is from blogspot
