Understood but if you're not going to post a vid then why bother with YT, just put it on Soundcloud. Someone posted an article either here or on another forum that SC has signed a deal with the same company that monetizes the YT posts.

Bob, Soundcloud's information states that only original music will be accepted. I just looked it up so if what you said is true it is not posted on their site yet.


Also, because the topic of discussion is that of identifying ONE place where we could post our covers without incurring any legal liability for ourselves or for PGMusic. (At least, I *THINK* that's the topic.)

Given the "iffy" nature of all of the information I've found, I'm still not comfortable with the suggestion that "we probably won't prosecute you." Unless somebody puts it in writing that it's OK to post covers, the agreement we click on when we upload anything says that we understand the law and we accept the consequences of our actions.

Having spent the past couple of days reading thru the FAQs on various sites, I haven't seen ANYTHING that remotely resembles a formal approval to post cover songs. And I don't think we ever will. To do so would be the equivalent of allowing a public right of way across private property. It implies a surrender of ownership rights if left unchallenged.
