Solid business decision by Spotify here, I support this move. I’ll probably switch over to them from YouTube music.

I know right. What's Spotify's goal with this move

The goal is that now that they've been caught pirating lyrics, they have to pay MusixMatch for their lyrics, perhaps on a per request basis, so they lose money by making it available.
