Once upon a time, long, long ago you could cover any song you liked.
If the writer didn't like it they could either court a powerful
nobleman to have you thrown in the dungeon or they could
just forget about it.
Once upon a time, no so long ago you could not cover a song unless
you first obtained permission from the copyright holder. This was possible
but a bit mysterious and time consuming.
Now, with the advent of the internet, if you would like to cover a
song all it takes is a credit card and a few clicks of the mouse. Not
all songs are available through this mechanism.
But the ones which are can be had with very little fuss and muss.
