certainly. who would object even if this were not covered?
Freedom of press does not supersede copyright laws. However you are allowed to post small snippets as part of fair-use. For instance if your clip is of you describing the event while a performance is going on in the background, that’s OK. On the other hand, if you post an entire performance online without the permission of the event’s organizers and/or the performers, then that is not OK.
If it is your description of the event, including such things as song titles, venue names, and lyric quotes of a single line. Yes Your experiences at a musical event belong to you.
If by “coverage” you mean “I intend to illegally video tape this and post it” no. Your attendance doesn’t include the right to electronically reproduce the music and words of another.
YOU can say you are covering a public event. Naturally, you will be asked to show your press credentials, proving you are, in truth, a reporter of the news. So, already you may be laboring under a handicap. Yes, you CAN post your comments, on any site that will accept your story. This may prove to be more of a challenge than being allowed to view the event with the credentialed press. Just because you cover a story, and just because you submit a story—this is no guarantee that any media will broadcast your story, much less pay for it.
Of course… it’s called journalism. This is what bloggers do as well..
