I am currently creating an online site to archive my music at, and as an amateur singer/songwriter, I have a few of my own songs recorded, along with a couple of cover songs. I was wondering how I go about obtaining the licensing rights to upload such covers and host them on my site.
You actually don’t need to license them to just put them up on your site. You’ll usually only need to license if you are putting them on an actual release, and even then only if you are making more than 999 copies (1,000 and up you have to pay the mechanical license).
How do you obtain licensing rights to cover a song?
