My understanding is that it’s for learning only. You should be safe for your private singing purposes. It seems like you would own them royalties if you created your own song lyrics, after having read/heard one of theirs…

So, if my brain ‘ingested’ a song lyric and now I can sing it, does that mean I owe GEMA royalties every time I hum in the shower? asking for a friend. who is me. my friend is me.

They sure would like that.
Never thought I’d hail the GEMA for what they’re doing…

Unless you are performing it for others, or for profit, they generally don’t care.

What if you read a copyrighted engineering textbook, and then build something for profit with that knowledge?

GEMA stands for “Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte” which means “Society for Musical Performing and Mechanical Reproduction Rights” in English. So if it’s not music they won’t care

But the court rulings / precedence wouldn’t care about that distinction, it just covers learning from copyrighted material in general.

That’s the point of a textbook.
