Legal Question in Entertainment Law in New York
Can I make an album comprising entirely of or containing unauthorized covers of songs and distribute them without authorization from the rights holder, if I don't distribute them for profit? Or can I cover songs on youtube and make music videos for them without clearance?

No and No.
I would advise discussing your plans with a lawyer in private before jumping in.
If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.
Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section):
