It’s no secret that the world of lyrics websites has been pretty much a Wild West in recent years, with few sites bothering to secure the relevant licences. While publishers have tried to crack down on that, there may be a new area to worry about now: iPhone applications.

The 99-cent apps offer lyrics for every song in an artist’s back catalogue, but it’s unclear whether these have been officially licensed. We suspect not…
Are iPhone lyric packs properly licensed?
