Are we allowed to take the midis from the site and use them in a recording? (I.E. for a youtube stopmotion, use it as a backdrop music with credit in the description)
Take this with a grain of salt, but you'd need the specific arrangers permission (and s/he may require you to credit them.)
As for me, you can use whatever you want (just don't claim it's yours.) I can even grab you an mp3 if you want something with a bit better sound quality.
Honestly we don't really own anything that we arrange...
I feel like giving credit would be the right way to go about it. It's not really necessary to ask permission.
Yeah uh, literally everything we do on here is technically illegal, so use of our arrangements is not infringing upon our rights in any way. I mean, giving credit would be the courteous thing to do (although if you're gonna do that, definitely give credit to the original composer, as well), but there's really nothing we can do about it if you don't.
I don't see a problem with that.

We had Chad York here and he didn't seem to have a problem with what we were doing..
As a musician, he probably didn't have a problem with we we're doing here.
As a business, Nintendo and its competitors might not see it the same way.
Yeah, honestly I don't even know what our legal status is officially, so to speak. I'm not a lawyer and I'm also Finnish, so I have no idea about the copyright laws elsewhere. I probably should, though.
