In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses the cover song problem and what’s really happening behind the scenes when your cover song gets flagged, demonetized, or removed. Artists often assume they're playing by the rules—but small mistakes are triggering big consequences. If you’re uploading cover songs to platforms like YouTube or planning to monetize them, there are legal traps you might not even realize you're walking into.

We break down how U.S. copyright law actually treats cover songs, what sync licensing has to do with your videos, and why platforms like YouTube are both helping and hurting creators. Whether you're a full-time artist or just experimenting with covers, this episode will give you the context you need to protect your content—and your income.
