Where did the initial seeding of all the lyrics & bands come from? Also, are most of the new lyrics contributed by users and if so how do you handle authenticating that the lyrics provided are accurate?

My license provider has a database of over 1.2M lyrics.

But matter of fact is that Directlyrics hosts only around 10k. A decision made early on to focus on less pages compared to competitors that needed to rank 1M+ paghes.

So where did the lyrics come from when you started the site? Did you type them out yourself, take from some other site in the same niche, etc?
