Google already does this so I assume it's in line with the law. If they get the lyrics wrong, maybe that's under fair use?

Google pays for the right to display lyrics, but if they display them incorrectly that might be an issue. Especially if the wrong version somehow goes against the morals of the artist.

Aha, I didn't know they were paying for it.

Chat with Bing has found to be given explicit instructions to not give out book passages and music lyrics. This came out the other day when someone was about to get it to say its code name (Sydney) along with it default prompt set.
