Certain networks have deals with record labels to allow members of those MCNs to do cover songs; also if you recently accepted the latest Partner TOS, it also covers cover songs to some extent. How far, I am not certain.

Quite a few cover songs on YouTube however, are not covered by either of these. These covers, when posted, get Content ID'd and all of the income from them goes to the artists, bands or record labels; though the songs remain visible on YouTube.

They don't get "copyrighted", by the way; they get "third party matched".

Please see my earlier thread on proper use of terminology on this forum section.
