Beethoven RYOK was a last ditch effort by Stellar (Pop Hits Monthly) to bypass sync licensing. they would sell the MP3 with no graphics, but embedded information on timing, and the Beethoven software would take lyrics you paste into it and sync for you. they ended up not being able to license new music after they played the same game as SC....make the track and ask forgiveness (SC8125 anyone?).
it did not save them unfortunately and they filed bankruptcy to avoid the suit.
