Record company ivory tower

I read an article today that just hammers home how out of touch the record companies are with the average person.
Apparently someone wrote a song-lyric search program. That’s a great idea. So often I hear a song on the radio and decide I want to purchase it. The radio stations are loath to tell you the artist or song that was played, so frequently I will try and remember the words, then pump them into Google with the keyword “Lyrics”. That will often tell me the song in question. It has backfired occasionally where I get the song, but with the wrong band. A song-lyrics search program sounds like a good way to cut out the middleman.
Now I find that a record company is suing the creator of the program. They claim that it “enables people to copy and download lyrics. Inevitably this will enable people to download lyrics owned or controlled by this company, Warner/Chappell Music Ltd.” Of course, it also acts as a nice gateway for people looking to purchase the music.

Morons.
