Did you know that you technically don’t need a license to release a cover song on streaming platforms? And that if you post a cover song on youtube without obtaining a sync license, there’s a chance your channel can get a copyright strike?

These are just some of the very important things about copyright that so many musicians (including myself until recently) don't know, so I figured it was worth dedicating a video to addressing them.

If you want to check out my cover, that would mean a lot to me! You can find it on my channel or stream it here: https://open.spotify.com/track/5mdsg1...
