I'm tired of playing the Sue Me Sue You Blues

Want to put lyrics in iTunes or your iPod? You better do it quick. The recording industry is now starting to go after lyric sites.

How about this: instead of suing every last music lover that is willing to display some sort of passion for every aspect of it, why not build a business model around what they want and need? The industry and publishers should get together to create their own damn lyrics site. I'm tired of these semi-monopolies abusing the judicial system by knocking off "competitors" with harassment suits rather than put up their own damn product to compete. This is a free market economy, yes? Everybody should learn from iTunes that the best way to counter "illegal" activity is to give music lovers what they were looking for in the first place.
