The Script covered it on Radio 1's Live Lounge Volume 3, since that's sold on CD the BBC would have to pay some kind of royalties, I doubt they had to pay $200,000 though.
As far as I know, you don't have to pay if you're not selling it. So live and YouTube covers are fine.

This!
Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift covered it
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

Cover = means releasing it.
And I think it's too little.
As the years go by, it should be more and more expensive. I'd have it at a million right now myself, because it's still to gettable for a lot of labels.
Glee would absolutely murder that song, with one of their tweenie storylines. Eminem put his heart and soul in that.

I don't think I would have been able to get over Mr. Shuester rapping to lose yourself.

It'd be funny if they told Glee it was 200k just so they wouldn't buy it and it's actually only 50k to cover it

You can cover songs on mixtapes but not on studio albums.
Otherwise your gonna get owned.

If I covered it, burnt it to a CD, and went and sold 100 copies they wouldn't do SHIT and you know it.

That's because you are an unknown artist and because you're not making any profit from it.
