Not only would the musician have to buy the sheet music first, but if they were going to perform that piece for profit at an event or on an album they'd need a license of some sort.

This whole mess seems to be another case of "if I can dance around the law fast enough, big enough, and with enough grey areas then I can get away with it".

1Blocker has been solid for me for a couple of years now. I use it on my i-devices and Macs.

I built an app to help people create balanced teams during pickup games for any sport. The app had every player register themselves, then each player ranked everyone, including themselves, from best to worst, then the app would spit out n number of (probably) balanced teams.

It turns out that complaining about team balance after the match is a feature, not a bug, of the experience for most people and our app was just extra work.
