Best way or subscription to legally release covers?

As the title says.

If I want to make covers and put them on different social media or streaming channels without violating any laws and avoid ”copyright strikes”, what is the best way? Any experiences?

    Are you trying to monetize them? If not, my experience with YouTube is they will typically get tagged as "copyrighted content" with ad revenue going to the copyright holder. This is generally allowed and very rarely would a "copyright strike" get issued.

    Other platforms behave differently (usually worse). For example, Facebook will often strike a video or mute certain portions if it "sees" copyrighted content.

    If you're trying to sell on a CD or streaming audio platforms (Spotify, iTunes, et .), the rules are definitely different and cost real money. DistroKid has a service that charges you $12 per year per track to release a cover. I've chosen to not do that as my traffic won't begin to pay for that charge.

    Imho the approach of https://www.tracklib.com/ seems interesting and fair, but it‘s probably not the type of „cover“ you have in mind.

    This article has a pretty good run-down of the process for cover songs in the US:

    I’d imagine you can probably find similar articles, outlining the process for other regions, as needed.

    No money involved, it´s all just for fun. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
