Is covering a song considered infringement?

Covering songs may constitute infringement, depending on whether you have obtained the authorization from the copyright holder and paid the corresponding copyright fees.

Covering other people’s musical works requires authorization from the copyright holder of the work. Without authorization, the cover of an original work is an infringement and may cause copyright disputes, economic losses and legal liability. Even partial re-sings (e.g. adaptations) must obtain permission from the copyright holder.

Copyright holders can authorize covers of their works to protect their property rights and copyright rights. After obtaining authorization, you need to pay the corresponding copyright fees and usage fees.

To avoid infringement, if you want to cover someone else's work, please make sure you obtain authorization from the copyright holder and pay the copyright fees in accordance with the agreement. Otherwise, you may face legal risks and economic losses.
