- Note: The existence of this report doesn't mean that I have a plan to go remove all of the links without consensus. It's mainly a test for a new bot framework I'm developing to support the MediaWiki API.
The following sites do not appear to have the permission of copyright holders to post lyrics. They should not be linked to under Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking to copyrighted works (official policy) and Wikipedia:External links#Restrictions on linking (style guideline).
