Not in a practical sense (the RIAA death squad isn't going to drag me into the street and shoot me for downloading a MIDI pack with instrumentals of three oldies) but technically.

I mean, how strong is a music copyright anyway? Do you have to change a certain percentage of the sheet music to make a song "original"? Or are instrumentals always legal?
