Yup... in Canada.. .Socan.... alex is correct here... I don't know as much when it comes to sports but anywhere where music is played in Canada, the venue has to purchase a license.... even the dentist office
I work in the world of classical music... so we do pay fees for certain type of events when we are producers... but not when I am hired to perform by someone else...
so I would think that it's the same for skaters as when I am a performer : the venue/producers will have to pay the license fees... and the skaters just don't have to worry about it.
Also, if they keep sticking to warhorses, a lot of that music is public domaine anyways... and that's why sometimes, you will find online, muted skating performances vs non-muted ones...
