I have to agree with others in asking what is your objection to others performing your songs - or videoing them?
Maybe your songs ARE really good, but do you believe that a radio play is going to have other players scampering to learn and cover your songs?

I have had one person ask me about doing one of my songs - I politely asked him not to, only because I thought he was a very poor singer (worse than me!) and performer.

Now if someone records and distributes one of your songs (via CD or online streaming services), you have the right to seek compensation for it (above and beyond any PRO money you will receive as the song's writer.) But in a court of law you are not going to receive a windfall unless that artist who did the recording gets a big 'hit' from it.
