I've been writing an iPhone app in my spare-time that is based around song lyrics and would like to hear from anyone who has interacted with either of the two lyric licensing companies LyricFind or Gracenote.
So far Gracenote haven't responded to my request for information, and my offer from LyricFind was prohibitive for a small-time entrepreneur like myself. Ideally I'd like a per-app sale arrangement so that so I can get feedback and gauge whether my app has potential, but LyricFind offered me a 12 month contract with minimal monthly payments.
What kind of deals have people done?
Has anyone put an app into the App Store containing lyrics without a license, or any unlicensed copyrighted material? What happened?
Any other ideas or suggestions?
Please contact me directly for more details - ckubicek(at)gmail.com
Thanks,
Charles
