I beg to differ.  A songwriter profits either by performing 
his/her creation, or by receiving license fees from someone
else performing the song.  Profits from selling copies of
lyrics are minor in comparison.  If posting lyrics results
in someone performing the work and paying the artist 
royalties, the artist has benefitted by the posting.  Needless
to say, proper credit(s) should be given.
