Spotify isn’t gate keeping access to the lyrics - you’re free to look them up on musixmatch or any of the other lyric sites and services. They’ve simply added them to their subscription services. You don’t know what gate keeping means.
You also still haven’t answer how anyone “stole” anything? Who stole what and from who?
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.
Autocorrect sorry, supposed to be gate keeping.

“If you pay us, you can see this. If you don’t, you cannot see it.”
Now who doesn’t know what gatekeeping is?
I have. Multiple times.
So every product on the market is gate keeping?
How is freely copyable information no one who is profiting from wrote or transcribed a product?
It’s rent-seeking and it’s gross.
Spotify don’t just sell lyrics lol. The lyrics are just another of the features that require premium.
Right. They gatekeep them behind a paywall. This is like the forth time we’ve been over this.
They are engaged in rentseeking behavior and that is wrong.
