Copying vs being inspired: tracing, covers, giving credit, sentence 6

A cover is a new performance of someone else's song; covers are normal, and when they are released, the songwriters are named and paid.

Who acts: cover, covers, someone · What happens: be, release, name, pay, sing · To what, where: new performance, shapes, songwriters

This is a sentence of the lesson «Copying vs being inspired: tracing, covers, giving credit» of the arts course of Mova's primary school.
