I have seen alot of KJ's out there and a bunch of them offer to burn a cd of your performance for memory's sake. I have also seen videos of your performance being offered.

Is there any circumstance that this is legit?

Not unless those KJ's either, own the rights to the music, and lyrics, or pay royalties to the copyright owner(s).

It's called theft of intellectual property!

One cannot just take somebody else's property and resale it without paying compensation to the owner(s)!
