Question: What constitutes a "cover" for a song, and is it legal?
For example, if someone makes a video of a song and puts their own animation/pictures over it, is that a "cover" and can the person be sued by the artist/writer for copyright infringement?
Just wondering. I see a lot of these types of things on Youtube.
Overall, you just do it. Seriously, that’s the law.
However, you do have to pay a fee of $0.091 for every song you press to sell an album that you are doing a cover on.
