\u201cIt is (and has always been) our expectation that brands, political parties, or public figures wishing to use our music for a campaign first seek our approval,\u201d the assertion reads. \u201cWhen we began to see posts and tweets from the event this weekend, the specifics were unclear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has now been confirmed that Saturday\u2019s event took place in a venue licensed by SOCAN, which means the venue pays a fee to ensure artists and musicians are compensated appropriately when music is played on site. As such, specific permissions were not required in this case. We did not have the full details in our earlier posts \u2014 and now consider this matter resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n
