I believe the squabble you're talking about was between Genius and Google, don't think Spotify was stealing lyrics from anywhere

I tried googling it.. couldn't find it.. What you're saying sounds more familiar.

But, Spotify probably licenses their Song lyrics too I'm guessing, so, not sure how royalties work for that, and could be a factor

I have this memory, that apple was accused to have pirated sone lyrics as well, lol
