What if the only part of your set that audiences love you for is your kickass cover of that Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s (pictured) song? What if it’s super spectacular, and it  becomes your claim to fame, and one day Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s find out – and everything you ever earned from every CD sale is taken away, and you’re thrown into a miserable prison cell to spend years in isolation and torture, only to leave and find your life in tatters, recoiling from sunlight and unable to ever fit into society again?

You can avoid all of that by simply acquiring a license to cover whichever song you want. With new online services that allow you to secure inexpensive licenses for any song you choose, you can legalize your renditions of everything from The Prodigy‘s ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ to Sam Cooke’s ‘You Send Me’ to Rebecca Black’s ‘Friday’ at a small, easily recoverable fee. Online licensing and royalty service providers like RightsFlow make this process exceptionally easy.

For example, you could legally sell 1,000 digital downloads of a cover of Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s ‘Bookworm’ , for the meagre sum of $106 – a fraction of what you’d be paying as fines. RightsFlow offers an easy online service for licensing cover songs for use on physical CDs and vinyl, ringtones, digital downloads and interactive streaming – after securing an intial license at $15 using their Limelight service. Go forth and fill in your song details, and add to cart – Happy shopping!
