Respected Sirs,

Is display of lyrics of any song (i.e. work) on website is legal or illegal?
[Owner of the website who display such work on its website does not have any copyright in the work]

If the act of website owner is legal then it needs to pay any amount to the copyright owner for such display of work?

If the act of website owner is illegal then what remedies available with the owner of the work?

Regards
deepak
