I don\'t think BabyPinkStar needed Jim\'s approval/permission to record Eclispe.
Anyone can cover a previously released song, anyway they like in terms of arrangement, as long as they don\'t change the music or lyrics.
It\'s when people wanna sample piano/guitar riffs or add a rap in the middle (rap is spelt with a silent c BTW) that permission is then necessary.
I think Bonnie Tyler sent Jim an advanced copy to garner a reaction/comment, as opposed to seeking permission?
