. . .at best it's a grey area...

RTFB nothing grey about it. Personal use-OK. Distribution-not OK.
The U.S. law was changed some years ago adding sort of "moral rights" to bring it into accord with european law so that U.S. law could be enforced.

I suspect that the representatives of the copyright holders (publishers) will simply get a fee from the tab sites just like they do with radio and bars and jukeboxes etc. They don't want to keep you from having or using the stuff, they just want to be compensated and they have that right. It is not being greedy, it is business. The stuff belongs to them.
