Covers, versions and works based on others: What is the difference?

@UltimateRiff

for example, I just recently split out a popular remix since there’s many recordings of this particular remix

And I was trying so hard to keep remixes out of it; Those we covered previously .

Thanks for your examples. They help a lot. So what exactly made you decide to set this remix as a separate work rather than link it up with the “remix of” relationship? You said that you could add relationships that don’t apply to the original work this way, but you could easily have credited The Living Tombstone with the “remixer” relationship. Is that because the remix has been covered by other artists?

Also, what I hear you saying is that you are going mainly by pragmatism and gut feeling. That seems sensible enough, but doesn’t that make the classification rather subjective?
