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.

YouTube has announced that they have changed their requirements for monetization

  Photo by cottonbro studio YouTube has announced that they have changed their requirements for monetization. The new requirements are that 500 subscribers, three public uploads in the last 90 days, and either 3,000 watch hours, three million YouTube short views, or a combination of both is needed for monetization.

Ad revenue sharing is still not being unlocked until channels reach the previous requirements. This change is only rolling out to limited countries in the world. Some advantages that smaller starting-off YouTube channels have are small channel appeal and the ability to create a tribe of early supporters. Sma...
