Sure you will. You can pay and pay and pay, which is what the song publishing industry wants, or if there is enough demand song lyrics may start showing up on p2p networks.

About sales of sheet market: This is already a dead business. A victim of digital image files.

My company, a music publisher (not of the psdeudo variety that hook songwriters) has decided that it will not sell sheet music for the simple reason that digital files cost zero to make and distribute and no business model (unless there is coercion and monopoly) for selling the product will work.

We only publish free digital file sheet music.

Free sheet music also promote the music and that has a value far greater than the few sheet music scores one may sell.

Of couese the old dinosaur publishers have not understood their predicament.

One of the primary uses of online lyrics sites is to search for the title and artist of a song where all you know is a bit of the lyrics. I would think that would be boosting business for the artist significantly, compared to the entirely trivial impact that online lyrics might have on the sales of sheet music.
