International Lyrics Server
- International Lyrics Server
The International Lyrics Server was a Swiss web site devoted to hosting user-supplied song lyrics. Begun in February 1997, it was hosting over 100,000 songs and receiving a million page views every day by its close in 1999. On January 14, 1999, Swiss police raided the apartment and the ISP of the International Lyrics Server's creator Pascal de Vries and seized equipment in pursuit of a criminal copyright violation complaint filed on behalf of eight music publishing companies including Polygram, EMI, and Estefan Enterprises. Now the previous domain name for the site, http://lyrics.ch, redirects to a different online lyrics database.
