Sorry, I was a bit unclear as English is not my mother tongue. I thus expressed my thoughts not correctly/clumsy.
"cover without permission": I meant to say stealing everything from a song (text+music) 100% while claiming it is your own.
"broad protection": apparently not the correct word. I meant to say, the law should be less strict.
> Now, making a transformative work based on others is where I feel things get interesting and there should be lots of flexibility and leeway for the transforming artist.
yeah, I agree.
