'My local band' is now 'My local band and me'.
This had been done so that there is now a specific place for Members to showcase their covers of known songs. The place for original songs will remain in the 'Songwriting' section.

Awesome. Whats the legality on that?
I have never heard of anyone being arrested for singing a known song, just look at the tribute bands out there. In fact there would be virtually no live performances from people like SouthPaw if artistes were not allowed to cover songs, YouTube and many other sites would also have to close. So I see no problem with Chordie Members posting links to their covers that are hosted on other sites, we have been doing this for ages but never before had a specific place for them to be posted.

I guess it's just when you try to make money of it. I think it's great cuz I do alot of covers.
That said - written lyrics or tabs / chords with lyrics that are protected by copyright still cannot be posted. Links only folks.
You've got it selso! I've looked into the whole issue of covering tunes. As long as it's for pure enjoyment and no one is making $$ off of their song, it's perfectly legal to do covers. Get that webcam going again and show us your stuff!
