bodom songcovers?!

Does the renowned "Dissection riff theft" count as a cover? If so, they´ve made about a zillion covers of various artists and classical composers too, I´ve heard.
 
I always have a a laugh when people who say "cob has a very own sound ... alexi laiho has his own playing stile" and then people come and do these stupid mistakes about THE TROOPER and THE FINAL COUNTDOWN ... LLLLAAAAAAMMMMEEEEE !!!!!
