Adsense on lyric pages

    I have a fansite that includes lyrics pages, I list information about the lyric and what albums the song comes off of. Since these are technically copyrighted I am thinking that I cannot put adsense on these pages. What are your thoughts. thanks

    I really don't know, but go back to 1996 to 1998 and the recording industry was all over lyrics sites trying to get them shut down and through the back door came Napster. Now it doesn't seem to be such a big deal.

    there is no problem if you put adsense on lyrics pages. Check all those lyrics website and you'll see that. If someone tells you he's the owner of the song, you take it off from your site and keep the others.

    Hey Sphinks,
    what about a singer songwriter that's dead, my site is basically all about this person. All the lyrics are from this person. If the owner of the song rights would ask I guess I would have to take them all down. ouch.

    I would think if you stated the artist there would be no problem displaying their lyrics.

    Yes, you should do that if the owner of copyrights ask you to do that. But, he won't :)

    i think it will not be a problem because most of the lyric sites are using adsense and they continue to use adsense
