I love Rap Genius, but haven't lyrics websites been repeatedly shut down in the past for copyright infringement? For instance, http://news.cnet.com/lyrics-sites-out-of-tune-with-copyright...

I always assumed that this was why all the lyrics websites were shitty and ad-infested - get money while you can, before you get shut down. And I also assumed that was why Google or Yahoo or some other competent people didn't make a nice lyrics website to outcompete them.

So what's different about Rap Genius?
