Bands do get away with it but it's just as illegal in the laws eyes ad you downloading the song. If you copy every note exactly or even badly and sell it without permission or paying royalties then you're up in court whatever means you use to copy it.

Ok, take out the "selling under the same name" and replace with "making any sort of money from it" and you will see that that is what i said. I was trying to show that the example of being able to copy a recipe is the same as recreating a song, both being legal. It's when you go on to sell it that it becomes illegal.
