seems slightly strange to me that typing in the lyrics of a song
that has a nice style or message or whatever would be illegal.
It's a lot like not passing around non-official photographs of
a landmark since your home photographs take some of the revenues
of the photographers (which goes partially to the landmark) away
from them.   

	I mean, realistically, I would like to see net.music.lyrics
because I think that there are a suprising number of lyrics that
can stand on their own as poetry or 'stories' and I would not be
exposed to them if not in a group like this (I would never buy, let
alone read, the liner to a Zepplin album, yet some of the lyrics are
pretty amazingly good!)

	On the other hand, no-one ever said that the American legal
system made any sense, anyway!
