 * Comment. Hi. Yes, there is a problem with reproducing song lyrics as reference on Wikipedia. Unless the songs are in public domain, this constitute a copyright violation. Fair use allows quoting snippets of song lyrics in critiquing or describing songs, but we can't reproduce large chunks. You can read a bit more about that here. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
