> Claiming covers, interpretation videos, etc as "copyright infringement" is, to put it mildly, a stretch.
I don't know what an "interpretation video" is, but covers are clearly copyright infringement.
The first question to ask is: does audio deserve copyright at all? I think the answer to most people is yes: audio is just as valid a medium for fixation [1] as writing.
In that case, it's pretty obvious that a cover violates the copyright of the song writer.
