Ok, how can Rap Genius recover from this? They're one of the best (and least shady) lyrics sites on the net. They acted immorally, yes, but is justifiable to summarily execute their company?

Google has a domineering position in the market, and it's a bit ironic that people were quick to call for Microsoft to be split into multiple companies about a decade ago, yet nobody bats an eye when Google exercises their power. (I personally don't believe either company should be split; just pointing out an interesting parallel.)

So what can Rapgenius do? Are they screwed?

EDIT: Also, how long does the penalty last for? I think people are assuming 30 days, but is that really the case?

Even still, 30 days is a long time. They may not be okay afterwards. Whereas, say, a week-long ban would've had the same deterrent effect.
