Correct answer: To determine whether the original song is protected by copyright..
Why this is the answer
A cover can use a musical work that belongs to another rights holder. Legal review helps confirm whether copyright protection applies and whether permission or a license is needed before upload. Making a new recording does not automatically clear the underlying composition rights. YouTube systems such as Content ID may still identify the song and apply the rights holder’s policy.
