Mechanical licenses are a legal way to release your performance or "cover" of a musical composition you haven't written.
Mechanical licenses are a legal way to release your performance or "cover" of a musical composition you haven't written. These licenses are granted by the copyright holder. If you are recording a song that you did not write, you can contact the copyright holder yourself and agree with him directly. They can say, "No, you can't use my work," or ask for a one-time fee. Some of them will direct you to a less affordable third-party licensing firm.
However, copyright law includes mandatory licensing provisions so that anyone can obtain a compulsory license to mechanically reproduce musical compositions that were previously recorded and distributed. Mandatory licensing provisions allow you to legally release your performance or cover of any song (with some limitations).
