Is it legal to d/load a P cover song on U-tube performed by yourself ? performed

Is there a reason that would make it illegal as well.

It's illegal. You need permission from the copyright holder. cover videos have been taken down for this reason.

If you pay royalties to the song writer, what's the position then?

I thought covering songs is perfectly legal.

Actually, you can most likely upload anything you want to U-tube without any threat of a lawsuit.

They'll just think you're nuts.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
