Good grief they would have to have multiple people working full time just to approve or deny use. They asked an American politician to not use it. Said person continues to use it. They've sent a cease and desist letter along with several other musicians, but YouTube doesn't seem to have a problem airing the stuff. But Goddess forbid a skating competition that several thousand people want to watch uses it. That's a problem.
but I believe it's a separate problem.
When I see it struck it's by Sony Music Entertainment. Which could be a lot of artists.I don't know the YMCA story
Musicians register with an organization that aims to collect money on their behalf. In Canada it's SOCAN/En tandem. In the USA, I believe it is ASCAP and BMI. Venues have to purchase a license to play music. The fees are then split between musicians who are registered with ASCAP for instance. As mentioned, venues hosting those small competitions would already have to have a license, even to just play any music during a free skating session or holding the competition. There is perhaps an add-on fee for streaming, but again, these licenses are not cost prohibitive to start with.
There are a few issues I can see in figure skating. Some composers/ musicians, may not be part of these organizations. Some composers/musicians may not want their music to be used or to be altered (cut). But in general, musicians do not have the time nor the will to investigate every single use of their music and that's exactly why, they get small royalties through these organizations. Keep in mind that there is a difference for commercial use of music, which is NOT the case in figure skating.
Some musicians may feel strongly about their work being used politically. That's a completely different situation. It is the same as well, when music is used commercially. In movies, permission/dues have to be obtained/granted. If a musician wishes to make a recording of a work that is not public domain, they also have to get a permission and pay a fee. However, figure skaters do not use music commercially. They do not need to ask a musician authorization and pay a fee. It's covered by the venues blanket licenses.
I ordered him to not break up with her and he promised to obey my instructions.

I'd also like to note that he was one of three current skaters to show up to FOFS breakfast.
On a more serious note, they petitioned due to injury into a slot at Nationals this year Now I'm wondering if it is an injury issue.
Nothing from him since January.
Nor from her.
