Using a copyright music

Is it feasible to utilize music that is protected by copyright, but instead of the original performance, use a cover version? For instance, the iconic theme from the film Halloween can be effectively played on a piano, maintaining the original ambiance.

You could check if it’s still possible by uploading the video to YouTube and seeing if it gets copyrighted.

But I doubt it would if it’s a cover.

Every song you’re uploading to Roblox must be either owned by you or have a license which allows you to upload a copyrighted material. Covers or parodies NEED to be licensed before uploading.

For copyright detection Roblox utilities Audible Magic which is an audio finger print database. You may use similar database called ACRCloud which works nearly identical, here is implementation of it with daily limit of 10 checks made by Aha Music: https://www.aha-music.com/identify-songs-music-recognition-online
