PG Music's policy about posting covers on this site is based on YouTube. You have to post it there first and if YT doesn't take it down you're good, go ahead and post it here. Otherwise no. Guitarhacker's description of how it works with YT is what I've read as well. The rights owner controls it and that could be anybody, an agency, a huge corporation like Sony Music or anybody else who bought the rights, not just the original artist.

The concept here that so many miss is a song is property just like a lawn mower sitting in your yard is property. A neighbor can't simply come over to your yard and take it just because it looks like you're not doing anything with it, right? You have no right to do ANYTHING public with somebody else's song either. In your own house, fine but not publicly and posting it anywhere on the internet is called digital publishing which also means public. Money has absolutely nothing to do with it because it's not yours to give away no more than your neighbor can give away your lawnmower. He didn't make any money on it so why can't he give it away?
