Is it allowed to use cover versions of songs in the game?

Question

Audio

Tell me, is it legal to use covers of various songs in a game that will be sold? Provided that these covers are made by me. Just for example, there are a huge number of such covers in Play Music, did everyone who recorded them receive a license from the copyright holders?

Answer 1

If you are talking about Russian law, then we are allowed for the purpose of parody.
If about the American - it is generally prohibited.
Distinguish three authors:
Author of music
Author of text
Author of performance
Just because you became the author of one of the 3 does not mean that you automatically get the rights to the remaining 2/3.
As for other covers:
1) Oversight. They will be deleted
2) Yes, they took permission
3) The original is in the "public domain"

Answer 2

> how legal is the use of 8-bit covers ... in the game
Exactly how much, how much and 16-bit. And even 32's.
