I've seen a lot of utattemita in my life, and I have never seen a video claim such a thing unless it was a non-vocaloid song, and even those rarely have a declaration like that.

You may be encountering a common mistranslation of the humble form of "to sing", which can also mean "was allowed to sing", but other than that, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Covers of songs with publicly available instrumental tracks are absolutely legal, and some more-well-known producers such as HoneyWorks even have notices on their communities in reaction to some well-meaning utaite: "You need not ask permission to cover our songs." Are you sure you've been reading the descriptions properly? I'm still fairly new the whole utaite thing but i've already seen dozens of videos that said they got permission to sing. I don't really have anything to contribute in terms of answering the question because I was also wondering the same thing but I'm just curious about why you've never seen it before.
