I'm sure you'll get the same reply that I did which is quoted below.

Hi there. First, it's important for me to point out that no one on Wikia, including Superdadsuper, has any authority to determine whether something is a copyright violation. Wikia follows the notice and takedown procedure of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). That means that if a rights holder believes that their copyright is being infringed, they send in a notice telling us it must be taken down, and then we comply. Thus far, we have not received any DMCA takedown notices for LifeMusic Wiki.

In regards to the Gracenote license, LyricWiki has that as part of a business deal specific to that wikia, and it's not available for other Wikia sites. Although we can't offer specific legal advice, many uses of material qualify as fair use under United States copyright law. In any case, while we do have policies in place for repeat infringement complaints, we do allow admins to address the issue when there are complaints. Although it's good to respect and be conscious of copyright, I wouldn't worry about it too much unless there are specific complaints about the content.

I hope that clears things up. Feel free to let me know if you need anything else! - Brandon Rhea@Wikia(talk) 17:22, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
