Like I said, what you can get away with is a separate question.
When covering one song on a CD, it's kind of a no-brainer to spring for
the license--it's cheap and keeps you legit. Any CD duplication house will
require you to produce it; if you claim authorship of the song to avoid
this, you've now committed not just copyright violation, but fraud. Really
not worth it to save $90.
Re-doing a whole Phish album for free download? Trickier. No advice from
me! But it's definitely not legal unless you pay for the mechanical
license.
(US law, that is. I don't know about other countries. And I'm not a
lawyer, etc., etc.)
