Say I play a cover of a song And I don't use the song in the background (So the only thing you see/hear is me playing) Does that fall under fair use? Since I didn't use the original source material I feel like I won't get Content strikes, But YouTube is weird with that stuff. #code print("Hey now, you're a Game Dev, make some ROBUX, Go play!")

I believe for covers, if you are making money off of it you need the rights. I think Distrokid does that for you nice.

Again, As long as your putting full credit and not making money off ad revenue your good. Natewantstobattle makes money off itunes and googleplay but not ad revenue. User-Generated! | Branded As: Rock | Boop | Dr Pepper Expert
