This feels like the same vein as Microsoft abusing it's monopoly to distribute IE in the 90s. I don't know what Microsoft's market share was back then (seems around 75% according to [1]), but Google's is around 68% [2] at the moment which puts them in a pretty good position to drive traffic wherever they feel like. Some might say this is their prerogative, but the same argument could have been made for Microsoft back then. Since Bing is doing the same thing[3], we have the two major search engines both potentially killing off song lyric sites and the businesses behind them. Whether this is ok or not is not as interesting as where all these structured data additions will take us. Will it see the death of curated content sites (like the lyric sites) in favor of the search behemoths having their own content databases, or will we see a resurgence of these sorts of sites with new ways to discover them?
