You must follow these steps BEFORE you make your recording available to the public! If you have recorded a cover version of someone else's song, and you plan to make that recording available to the public in the U.S., the following information applies to you. Please note that the below is not legal advice, we are not your lawyers, and you should always contact your attorney before entering into any contract such as a license. We recommend an agency like Easy Song Licensing to help you with the cover song licensing process.
This is because no matter how you’ve restricted your music’s availability by geography or platform, at any point you could elect to widen your distribution to include download platforms within the United States that do not pay mechanicals directly to royalty collection societies. In order to distribute a cover song through CD Baby, you must, at minimum, acquire a mechanical license for downloads.
