John,
You are right that you can't be denied to use a song because of compulsary licenses. However, you can be denied the rights to print the lyrics. You can sing them and record them, but you can't print them. As you said in an earlier post, the writers are the ones that lose out because of companies not paying for the use to "print" or "display" the lyrics. I can't figure our why some writers (like Eagles and Don Henley) wouldn't want to receive the extra income. Maybe it is because there are companies out there that don't pay anyway. It is their intellectual rights that are being used. CDG is considered printed lyrics, so how come some companies have songs that other companies have been denied the right to print the lyrics.
