  Irrelevant. It’s up to musixmatch to pay the creators 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.

        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.
