I think the fact that the Grey Album is still available online says
something there. I think as long as you're not making any profit off it,
there's not much point in going after you legally, as it would cost too much
to sue you, and what would they get in turn?
Id say credit the original artists and you're gold..

Crediting the original writer and publisher is all you need to do.. covers
