Student Question about MIDIs

Recently I was searching for MIDIs to download. I always review webpages and look for remarks such as "public domain" or "free to download and use for noncommercial use". One particular sight had something like this:

   "Music recordings at this sight have been altered slightly    (occasional note changes, etc.) so as not to infringe on the artist's    copyright." Is this legal? Isn't that the same as saying "I changed a    few words in the book by Nicholas Negroponte's, Being Digital;    therefore, it's an original work and not subject to prior copyright."
