@Claude31In my case I'm not using the genius api. I'm continuing the intial query from mnaultra because my scenario is similar to that too. My question was, genius has its own app on app store and the content is from its contributors.https://genius.com/Genius-how-genius-works-annotated means the lyrics are submitted by its users. (not the original artists). If they are providing an API for the same content , then its not clear how their own app is approved on app store and not the other apps using the API is viloating the copyright laws.

HelloI've had the same response from Apple although my content was not based on a free API. The data is from a database that I've compiled over the years. I understand the point that you are making about the ownership.If the API from genius.com is violating the copyright laws then how come their app is available on AppStore.https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/genius-song-lyrics-more/id709482991Also below is another examplehttps://apps.apple.com/gb/app/musixmatch-lyrics-finder/id448278467What if an app is published free of charge or without any advertisements? Can they be considered as fair use ? Thanks
