pearLyrics creator shown sliver of generosity from music label

Last week Warner/Chapell Music, yet another ever-genuine and just music label, sent a nasty cease and desist letter toWalter Ritter, developer of pearLyrics, a handy widget that combs the net for music lyrics and imports them into iTunes.

This week however, in a hell-just-froze-over moment, pearLyrics' developer received a phone call from Warner/Chapell – it was the CEO calling to apologize. Apparently, the label had a change of heart (haha) and wants  to work with Ritter to offer a legal, convenient way for consumers to find accurate song lyrics. Ritter has posted some details and a quote from the phone call on the pearLyrics site, letting interested parties know they should stay tuned for a hopefully better fate for the  dear pearLyrics.
