The recordings are technically owned by the artists. The underlying compositions still remain property of the original publisher(s). The problem is that distributing covers/remixes without licenses is illegal, even if it's for free. Remixers and cover artists can either to do it legally/commercially and license it, or, stay underground, go the Bandcamp route, and hope the powers that be don't send cease and desist notices. FFVI Balance and Ruin comes to mind.
