Which is why there are some awful covers of songs out there!
Actually Bruce Springsteen did say that if anyone covered one of his songs on American Idol (etc) he would sue them. One of the contestants on our Australian Idol did a Springsteen song, so we shall wait and see if they get sued (would imagine that Bruce couldn't do anything about it).
