My guess is their lawyers made them include it just to cover their butts in case some record company is feeling particularly litigious. I highly doubt that SE is going to waste resources actively looking for people doing cover songs. As long as no one blatantly rips off a major artist and posts a recording of it online or something and then someone sees it and kicks up a stink about copywrite, I really don't see SE taking any action at all.
