Short answer is no.

If you were to take that recording, put it on a cd or your own web site and charge people for it, then it becomes illegal.

Pages like Facebook have very carefully written "Intellectual Property" documents.

On the other hand if you change the tempo and the key then copy it onto manuscript, run it through a copier onto tissue and make 500 quarter-sheet sized copies all into a perforated sheet by sheet roll.................You can send it to Penn State to wipe Joe Paterno's ancient and sagging ass!   This is both legal and a necessity.
