Song lyrics and trivia website Genius has accused Google of stealing its work for its own search results, co-ordinate to the Wall Street Periodical.

When yous search for a song title using Google, the search engine will oftentimes brandish its lyrics in an data box at the top of your search results, along with videos, release date, song writers, and information on where to listen to it.

According to Engadget (who besides reported on the story), the website claims Google is "not only hurting its traffic with its lyrics cards, only sometimes grabbing Genius' lyrics verbatim," which it says information technology can prove by looking at the apostrophes in the lyrics.

This is considering Genius alternated between straight and curved apostrophes "equally a form of watermarking" – the website claims that in that location were "over 100 instances" were Google's search result-generated lyrics independent the exact same apostrophes.

Amusingly, these apostrophes take a underground meaning, reportedly spelling out 'red-handed' when converted to Morse code's dots and dashes.

Google responds

Google has responded to the claims with a statement, proverb: "the lyrics displayed in the information boxes and in Knowledge Panels on Google Search are licensed from a variety of sources and are not scraped from sites on the spider web."

"We take data quality and creator rights very seriously, and hold our licensing partners answerable to the terms of our understanding. Nosotros're investigating this consequence with our data partners and if we detect that partners are non upholding good practices nosotros volition end our agreements."

Genius says that Google is "both violating antitrust law and its terms of service", and claims that it alerted the search engine to the problem in 2017.

It's unlikely this case will ever make its style to courtroom, as it's unlikely to go in Genius' favor – afterward all, Genius doesn't own the copyright to the song lyrics themselves, just having the right to display them.

For its office, Google doesn't admit to beingness caught 'blood-red-handed'.  However, the fact that it's investigating the issue with its partners, and is willing to finish agreements with those who don't "uphold practiced practices" could bode well for Genius, whose traffic has suffered dramatically since Google started displaying song lyrics in its search results.

Information technology's not clear whether this will affect the 'visual lyrics' feature that came to Google smart displays like the Google Home Hub and the Lenovo Smart Display in tardily 2018, and more recently, the Google Nest Hub Max. The characteristic automatically displays song lyrics on your smart brandish when playing music through Google Play – it doesn't work on every song though.

Still, information technology's not all bad for Genius. Spotify subscribers get Genius-sourced lyrics shown in the Spotify app during songs, and the company has likewise integrated with Apple tree Music.
