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.
