Hello, Community Central people.

I am here with an important question regarding the creation of a wiki. I have read the wikia creation thing, but there is something I still do not get. It's a technical; question, but I don't want a technical answer; I need to hear it in plain speech.

I would like to create a wiki that would involve adding song lyrics to pages. (Not getting into specifics yet, because I am somewhat afraid that someone else might make the wiki before I can.) Sounds simple enough, but I heard that the Lyric Wiki has to upload their lyrics via some song website and they cannot upload the lyrics if they're not on the site (or something like that). I would really like to know how I would put this wiki together in accordance with "fair use" and the other legal stuff that's involved in making a wiki. I can't let myself get in trouble for creating a giant copyright infringement.

If anyone out there can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Your Friendly Neighborhood CerealBoxHead.
