I still remember how lyrics.wikia.com had to shut down because of copyright issues. It was a site where users could edit and publish song lyrics.

And I’m still mourning the loss of the Online Guitar Archives (OLGA); I still have printouts of all the songs I attempted to learn on guitar.
Same! That was a sad day
Similar feelings when Napster (the original cool version) and Grooveshark shut down.
I think most of the OLGA tabs have been moved to Ultimate Guitar (which supposedly compensates authors or has other ways to be copyright-compliant?) and if you look for semi-unknown songs from the 90s you can still find them, in their beautiful notepad-like glory.
Up to a few years ago it also didn't have an atrocious interface with plenty of antipatterns. Now, on the other hand...
