In the old days almost everyone skated to classical music which was almost always in the public domain.
A few years ago the rules shifted to allow skating to music with lyrics, which opened the door to contemporary tunes.
That change has come with a host of issues including broadcast rights if the performance is televised, or differing rights depending on the country of performance. A routine can be peformed in some competitions in some places but not others.

The world of music rights is bizarre, no matter under what circumstances. I think they jumped the shark when they decided to copyright-strike the video of the dancing baby because it was on the background of a rock tune.
