I believe because:

1. Lyrics are user generated content, UGC + DMCA Safe Harbor makes it easy for a site to keep operating, even if they have to keep taking some content down.

2. They have done a seemingly good job of getting major label rappers on board with the service, so maybe the labels actually get this this could be helping them make money.

1. So are translated subtitles. Is the premise that Undertexter was not responding to DMCA requests to take down reported content, but Rap Genius is?
