Warner Changes Tune on Lyrics
Music publishing company Warner/Chappell has apologized for abruptly sending a cease-and-desist letter in November to the maker of a specialized lyrics search engine after public criticism from music fans and legal experts.
The aggressive letter had sparked support for Walter Ritter, the Austrian hobbyist who created an Apple “widget” called pearLyrics that showed the lyrics to a song as it played on digital music service iTunes. Mr. Ritter had taken down his free application because he didn’t have the time or money to fight Warner/Chappell, he said.
