I would think it would be obvious that if you have gone through the proper legal channels, and have paid the license fee for a copyrighted song, you have "ALL" the rights accorded by that license. Since Harry Fox licenses music for internet release as well as the traditional hard copy, it should be understood that anyone who has paid the fee requested by the HFA for the usage requested under the license, they have the full right, legally, to post that song online, and that should include in these forums. Licensing doesn't mean you own the song.... but it accords you all the rights in the license agreement to make commercial use of the song and to keep any profit made from that use.

Arguing over the minutia doesn't solve the issue. If you think doing a cover is beneath your musical standards.... don't do covers. If you do covers and have the license to legally put it into the public arena, post it. And yeah... probably a good idea around here or in any forum site actually, to post your HFA license number.
