"digging through CD jewel boxes only to fond out there were no lyrics included"
Remember in the lyric sleeve , under each song lyric; "Lyrics by permission of ... the Lyricist".
The Artist and/or the record company paid the lyric writer for the both for the right to record the song AND to the right print the lyrics with the album.
As well , the record company could choose to save $$ , and not print the lyrics at all --to avoid paying any roylties to the lyricist -- even if it is that recording artist's lyrics that is on that album.
The Music Industry is not made up of all nice people.
Look at for example Kris Kristofferson , who wrote "Me and Bobby McGee."
How many Kris albums do you own? None I bet.
But somewhere in you music library you you got at least one cover of "Bobby McGee". Maybe more.
When Kris cut his own cover , of Bobby McGee,, which was much lower in selling than Janis Joplin's cover , good chance his record company would skimp , and not print the lyrics thus giving royalties to Kris.
Because from the Record Company prospective it like giving Kris and now his fans -- the album's buyers --- Free $$$.
If Kris's fans want the lyrics the record companies say "let them ( the fans) pay for it at the music store".
There is always some trying to shortchange the songwriter.
Today it is for-profit-lyric-websites.
( I am using Kris just as an example here of the many Songwriting Artist that would fit into this catagory.
I do not claim any knowledge of the factual occurance that was between Kris and his record company at the time of Bobby Megee's finacial peak. It is just an academic example )
"Louie Louie" is an American rock 'n' roll song written by Richard Berry in 1955. It has become a standard in pop and rock, with hundreds of versions recorded by different artists. The song is written in the style of a Jamaican ballad; and tells, in simple verse-chorus form, the first-person story of a Jamaican sailor returning to the island to see his lady love. The singer brags of his "fine little girl" to the Louie of the title, presumably a bartender. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louie_Louie

You know the Recording Artist also has to get full permission to print lyrics with the album /CD/ tape/ website.

And there is nothing stopping songwriters from starting their own lyric sites. I'm sure whatever paltry income they get from the site would still dwarf the almost nonexistent amount of royalties they get from selling songbooks.
I assume you pay royalties for all the 'covers' you perform, correct?
Yes the songwriters did get paid!!! Before the internet , I bought the songbook,, and any bar I played in got an yearly visit from ASCAP et. al.,, to collect the royalties for the song the cover artists preform
.you cannot copy right chords,, the "blues" are the same 3 chords.
Melody can be copyrighted , but as we learned with the George Harrison " My Sweet Lord" vs. 'He So fine" legal fiacso , it is a murky territory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Sweet_Lord

Again , there are professional people , who , professionally use lyrics -- see above posts.
These for-profit lyric websites ,, allow people who professionally use lyrics in thier line of WORK , to now get those lytics with out paying the proper license fees.

HOW YOU GET PAID AT ASCAP
ASCAP receives payment for public performances of songs and compositions by negotiating license fees with the users of music (radio, TV, cable, bars, clubs, restaurants, shopping malls, concert halls and promoters, web sites, airlines, orchestras, etc.) and distributing these monies to members whose works were performed.
ASCAP pays directly and fairly. ASCAP is guided by a "follow the dollar" principle in the design of its payment system. In other words, the money collected from television stations is paid out to members for performances of their works on television; the money collected from radio stations is paid out for radio performances, and so on. ASCAP tracks music use on these and other media and live venues to determine which music has been performed, and the appropriate writers and publishers to be paid.
The value of each performance is determined by several factors, among them the amount of license fees collected in a medium (television, cable, radio, etc.), the type of performance (visual vocal, background music, theme song, jingle, etc.) and the economic significance of the licensee (how much a station pays us).
There are billions of performances licensed by ASCAP each year. ASCAP is committed to paying our members for these performances fairly, accurately and efficiently. ASCAP collects and distributes more money in performance royalty income than any other organization and our payment system is by far the fairest and most objective in the U.S.
Because ASCAP is owned and governed by its members, we have a strong commitment to maximizing payments to members. In most situations, you will find that ASCAP pays more than our competitors over the life of a copyright.
We hope this information will help you to understand the overall design of the ASCAP payment system and the many factors that go into calculating how much a particular performance is worth, as it explains the steps from performance to royalty check."
Re: Re: professionals ,, using Song Lyrics a a tool of their trade.
"You see, this is the problem. You make this assumption and base your entire argument on it, but have nothing to back it up."
Where are you? I just gave three solid concrete examples of professions that use song lyrics as part of that profession:
Again here we go :
I quote mysself -- "They are people who may NEED the lyrics for a professional need.
A school teacher ( I remember a class on "American Pie" in 8th grade English),
Music Therapist , working with hospitalized children or Alzheimers patients-- (song lyrics work wonders in that profression),
A corparate rally speaker , who brings the lyric to "we are the Champions" to ralley the sales force,, and etc.
All professionals ,, using Song Lyrics a a tool of their trade."
Not to mention a Broadway show revivial, the local musical playhouse in any small town , School plays, Bar Bands , Street Musicans , and etc. ALL "use and need" countless "lyric-sheets" printed on pieces of paper.
Before the internet , music publishing was a major revenue source for songwriters and/or lyricists.
If you wanted the lyrics -- for whatever reason -- you PAID for them, and often it was a biz expense , that you could write off on you taxes -- because you used the lyrics in your line of work.
Today , on the internet , all these FOR_PROFIT lyric websites , are making money , "stealing" lyrics !!!
Please point me to the site where I can do this. I don't think I've ever seen a site that *sells* lyrics alone
Those who sell the lyrics directly , they are called "music publishers" The ones that print the songbooks we USED to BUY , befre free lyric ( and chord ) site , stole their biz.

=========================================
But this whole thread is about for PROFIT lyric websites , that let you "steal" the lyrics w/o roylties being paid to the lyricist.
If you Want the lyrics , and want to pay fairly , wherte the lyricist gets royalties , go the music publisher's website and order the lyric sheet.
OR , get the lyric sites to pay fair and just roylities , just like radio stations that broadcast songs, advertisers that use songs, and TV shows that have music performed on them
Re: Re: Most people use them to search for songs or as a repository for their media player to use to get the lyrics that used to come free with the music.
"I can't even follow what you're trying to say here. Try making some sense, please."
I think it is pretty clear,, you should also "legally purchase" the song lyric , if that is ALL you need.
Or at least make sure the Lyricist gets a cut from the $$-makeing site that gave you those copyrighted lyrics
and I'm not a musician so would have no idea what key it's in?
Exactly . You need the Lyrics to find the song.
I was exploring a hyperthetical premise , not the specifics of Mr. TV --
The point: many recording Artist , ARE NOT the Song Writers -- (and untill Chuck Berry , and then the Beatles , they rarely were.)
Song and Lyric Writing is a distinct and separate craft from music preformance and music production.
Quality , memorable , and sale-able Lyric Writing is a highly unique talent , that is VERY rare to find.
That old Scotish Drinking Song , was just another drunken dirge-- until Francies Scott Key turned it into the "Star Bangled Banner" , whith his well crafted and inspired lyrics.
Lyricist are artists. when there art is consumed -- for whatever reason , whether as part of a package ( the recording) ,, or as a stand alone ( on those lyric sites ) , thet deserve payment.
professionals ,, using Song Lyrics a a tool of their trade.
"Indeed. Which is why I was able to buy a copy and give everybody involved a cut of the profits. By demanding separate payment for the lyrics, sites would be shut down and this purchase not made. Very short-sighted"
But much , maybe even most times , people ARE not looking to buy the song. They are people who may NEED the lyrics for a professional need. A school teacher ( I remember a class on "American Pie" in 8th grade English), Music Therapist , working with hospitalized children or Alzheimers patients-- (song lyrics work wonders in that profression), a corparate rally speaker , who brings the lyric to "we are the Champions" to ralley the sales force,, and etc.
All professionals ,, using Song Lyrics a a tool of their trade.
"Uh, no. Once upon a time, most of us read the lyrics off of the album insert."
Actually not true. Dylan ussually did not ( and does not now ) include his lyrics on his albums.
The Beatles only did with Sgt. Pepper and the White Album ,, but not with Abby Road and Let it Be.
I would guess ,that it might be, in many other cases where artists/ record company/ music publisher , DID NOT include the lyrics, a pure biz decision.
Why spend extra $$ printing the lyrics into the album sleeve,, when NOT printing , will motivate those who want the Chords and/or lyrics to go to the music store and BUY them? Thus raising more $$ for the biz model.
So buying the Album , has never guaranteed also getting the printed offical copyrighted lyrics for free.
You want them. You had to buy them.
So back to Mike's open words in the post : "Basically, lyrics -- which, by themselves, generated absolutely no money for songwriters/publishers for pretty much the entire history of the business."
That is a false premise. Lyrics have NEVER been free.
