Been using this site for two decades. I'm sick of seeing user transcribed lyrics instead of the actual lyrics that I can verify aren't correct when I actually own the album.

My recommendation: Physical scans of lyric booklets or the submission/edit is denied outright.

Terrible idea. 95% of lyrics on the site come from official or trustable sources (a band's website/bandcamp, or a site such as Genius). This would just make it impossible to submit lyrics for releases without a scan of the booklet, or releases that don't include a booklet with lyrics but with lyrics available from an official/trusted source.

If you've found wrong lyrics, then fix them. No need to make stuff harder for everyone.

My recommendation: fix the mistakes yourself.
