Coveres are posted here all the time, including some by UK users. How does copyright preclude sharing your version of a song, as long as it is not for profit nor claimed as your own? Is British copyright law that different from American?




Richard,

I believe that it is illegal to post a cover song on the internet, without permission. I've done a lot of research on this in the past that caused me to not post cover songs. Once the song is posted on the web for our friend's enjoyment, it is there for all the world to see.

I can't cite all my sources at this time, but here is a Yahoo answer, you might consider.
