Not sure if this the right area to post this but here goes.
This week I got a copyright notice on my YouTube account for my cover of The Scientist by Coldplay that I put up 8 days ago.
I've been to several sites and they all said the same thing. Everything I read said that doing a cover tune without permission is copyright infringement. It also said that it is not covered by the fair use act. Yikes I did not know this. I have enjoyed posting covers but now I don't know what to do. Public domain and original songs seem the only option. I don't like this. I'm not making any money from it but I guess it doesn't matter.
