Hello! Does anyone have tips on how to post cover songs on Instagram legally? I just don’t want to accidentally copyright someone’s song and get in trouble. I’ve heard some things about music distribution platforms, but I want to hear what some of you guys think or have done. Thank you 🙂

This is what i found online regarding copyrights and song covers.

Do you need permission to cover a song? No. But if you plan on releasing a cover song, you’ll need to make sure it's properly licensed. While dealing with licensing might seem tedious, it’s a necessary step to avoid copyright infringement. Imagine pouring your heart and soul into creating what you consider to be your masterpiece, only to have other musicians continually release copies of your track without any benefit to you. This underscores the importance of song licensing for covers: it’s a protection designed to ensure that the original creator of a track is properly recognised and compensated whenever anyone else wants to release their version of the song
