      My understanding is that it’s for learning only. You should be safe for your private singing purposes. It seems like you would owe them royalties if you created your own song lyrics, after having read/heard one of theirs…

      Unless you are performing it for others, or for profit, they generally don’t care.

          GEMA stands for “Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte” which means “Society for Musical Performing and Mechanical Reproduction Rights” in English. So if it’s not music they won’t care

      They sure would like that.

      Never thought I’d hail the GEMA for what they’re doing…
