Snippets from people's works are okay -- that's covered under "fair use." However, when people post song lyrics, they post the entire song, and that's not covered under fair use.

We police all copyright violations through the standard DMCA notification process, meaning we do not pre-moderate comments or posts. We only act when someone brings it to our attention that (a) they believe a copyrighted work has been posted and (b) they are an authorized agent for the author or creator of the copyrighted work.

In other words, it's up to individual members to understand the law and act accordingly. We're not the police, though, and we're not going to take on that role either here.
