Technically yes, although some companies feel ContentID will identify and monetize the cover, and others simply choose not to take action. But performing a song in public requires a performance license, and distributing it as video requires a synchronization license.

No. That is copyright infringement.
Is it considered copyright infringement to wear popular brand name clothing in YouTube videos?
I'm not an attorney, but I did some reading on this a couple of years ago. If you are making a home-made video for your own entertainment and the entertainment of YouTube users, and you are not selling the video or promoting your store, etc. It seems there is no infringement of copyright. You have to wear something. Copyright law can be very complex (especially with readily accessible internet materials) but often (not always) the problem with copyright is when you are actually making money by using objects or intellectual property without permission. It is different with things like musical performances of copyrighted music, or clips of movies, etc. that people are rightly expecting to be paid for when transmitted. You might think it's harmless to put them on YouTube, but the owners of the rights may have another view. Intellectual property is property, and its owners have a right to payment when people obtain it. You should check with an attorney if this approach is not satisfying to you, or if it does not cover your situation.

Who wrote the poem about humans being copyrighted by God and that his life may be terminated for copyright infringement because he failed to ask God for permission to live?
I saw this "poem" somewhere and liked it but I lost the URL. PLease leave a copy of the poem and the name of the author! ---- Nevermind! I found it: COPYRIGHT INFRINGER I am human. I am technically a "cover" version of an original work. I believe God to be the original creator of humans. I have attemped to contact God and obtain the nessessary license(s) needed to be legally alive under the terms of federal law with no success.
