Andreessen Horowitz Invests $15M In Text Annotation Startup Rap Genius
I love Rap Genius, but haven't lyrics websites been repeatedly shut down in the past for copyright infringement? For instance, <a href="http://news.cnet.com/lyrics-sites-out-of-tune-with-copyrights/2100-1027_3-6203085.html" rel="nofollow">http://news.cnet.com/lyrics-sites-out-of-tune-with-copyright...</a><p>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.<p>So what's different about Rap Genius?
