Zep,
It is legal cover, but they are enforcing it. I just got "challenged" by them to get a digital license from the Harry Fox Agency to put covers up. Depending on the song length, the charge varies but on average its about $.10 a play or download. Since I am not a pro musician, I have to make a judgement call if I want to invest in covers just for the fun of it. I'm in the middle of a project of Kansas covers from their 1st 6 albums and its a bit of a bummer but I don't have any animosity toward Soundclick..its in the interest of the song writer that they are pursuing folks covering tunes.
