    Same reason any tech company limit the ability to do anything - bandwidth, ownership etc.

    Even if ‘lyrics’ are free, they still need to be written and proof read. You’re either going to have to pay other companies to provide you the lyrics or pay your staff to write them down.

    There’s so many levels to this, Spotify still sucks, but you have to look at it realistically .

      yeah but that still begs the question of why even give limited access. Just put it behind the paywall, it’s not like people don’t understand what spotify is, and it gives them a better excuse for selling a service anyway.
