Genius is,All Sex Casino (2001) well, genius. The company recently accused Google of lifting song lyrics from its site, reports the Wall Street Journal.
How did Genius know Google was stealing? In 2016, Genius made a few changes to the punctuation in its song lyrics. Sometimes, it used a straight apostrophe. Other times, a curly one.
Genius did this in a very specific sequence because (are you ready for this?) when "the two types of apostrophes were converted to the dots and dashes used in Morse code, they spelled out the words 'Red Handed.'"
That's how Google was caught, according to Genius.
Google denied stealing any lyrics. Instead, it said that the lyrics that show up in the "information panels" that pop up in a Google search are from licensed partners.
"We’ve asked our lyrics partner to investigate the issue to ensure that they’re following industry best practices in their approach," the company said in a blog post. "We always strive to uphold high standards of conduct for ourselves and from the partners we work with."
Google also said it will soon include attribution so users will know where song lyrics came from.

Increasingly, Google is trying to provide users with as much information as possible on the search page — convenient for users who don't want to click onto a website, but bad news for websites that depend on those clicks.
These kinds of lawsuits are fodder for politicians — most notably Elizabeth Warren — who want to break up big tech. As this incident shows, companies such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon have the power to hurt smaller competition with a few design tweaks.
