About

Our goal at LyricsSeal is simple:

• We aim for the lyrics industry to move towards licensing of at least the most trafficked websites.
• We make the licensing terms more transparent and provide a tool to validate licensing.
• We strive to create public awareness among consumers about the benefits of chosing licensed lyrics sites.
• We endeavor to increase revenues for all stakeholders.
• We protect the intellectual property of songwriters and publishers.
