Copyright on cover music

Youtube has made a lot of superstars from the cover song including Shawn Mendes, Charlie Puth, and more. But did you people know that cover song equals violation. Why? because copyright is something that must be "original (made it by yourself)." In Thailand, reproducing someone else copyrighted work and boardcasting them online for commercial purpose are illegal due to an act of legislation. You may get sued by the owner(if they want to) or your content might be blocked by Youtube. So what if you want to be a youtube star like Shawn Mendes, don't worry here's the solutions for you. First you need to be awared of the record label(ค่ายเพลง) of that song. Second is to contact them for the license or permission. The last thing is to pay a compensation for a legal usage(the price and policy may be different, it depends on the record label). Now, you can produce your covered song without fear of getting blocked or legal charges. Who know you might be the next Shawn Mendes.
