Everything You Need to Know About Posting Cover Songs on YouTube Legally

 


Meet Miss Krystle, Top Music Attorney

Miss Krystle, a music attorney with tons of experience, is here to talk about cover songs and the legal stuff behind them. She used to not be a fan of cover songs, but now she thinks they're a great way to get your music out there. In her video, she explains the difference between sampling and cover songs and why it's important to get permission if you're using someone else's music. She also talks about interpolations, which is when you recreate the essence of a song in a new performance.


What the Law Says

Thanks to the Music Modernization Act, you can post cover songs on YouTube without needing a license. But, when your cover songs are streamed on platforms like Spotify and Amazon, they have to pay royalties to the original composers and publishers. Miss Krystle also mentions the importance of registering with the mechanical licensing collective to make sure you get paid for your cover songs.




Legal Stuff You Need to Know

If you post cover songs without permission, you could get in trouble. You might have to take down your videos and even pay damages and attorney fees. Composers and publishers earn money from cover songs through things like public performance fees.

Staccato PRO (Lifetime License)

Staccato is an AI MIDI co-writer that works directly inside your DAW as a VST/AU plugin or standalone app. You give it a text prompt, upload a reference track, or both, and it generates MIDI in seconds, complete with all instrument parts and personalized sound design suggestions based on your instrument library. It can generate up to 32 bars and 16+ instruments at a time, and because it outputs MIDI rather than audio, everything it creates is fully editable and fits straight into your existing workflow. And if it’s not exactly what you had in mind, ask for a rewrite or accompaniment on the spot. Unlike AI tools built on copyrighted works, Staccato’s music generation is powered by fairly-trained proprietary AI models, meaning your creative output belongs entirely to you.
