Spotify is receiving money for something they did not create.

Spotify are paying musixmatch for the lyrics.

    Irrelevant. It’s up to musixmatch to pay the creators or supplier of their content, not Spotify.

        It’s not up to Spotify to pay the wages of the company that provides a paid service to them.

        No one is gathering access to lyrics.
        
        Who “stole“ something here, and from who?
