    Spotify are paying musixmatch for the lyrics.

    musixmatch didn’t create the content either.

      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.

                Anyone extracting rents on gatekeeping access to them.

                  No one is gathering access to lyrics.

                  Who “stole“ something here, and from who?

                    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.
