They didn't lie, it's not how that works, go look at the FAQ on the BMI site. Their label puts all music on there and if you see someone you don't want using your music you can send a letter and tell them to stop. It's a pretty standard licensing agreement. It works the same for almost all of these services.
Yeah, if you use the song once, they send a letter. From the earlier article they've been playing whatever that Foo song is at every rally on YouTube and live without the digital publishing rights being paid which is what the lawsuit is really all about. BMI just wants more money, and they're having the liberal tools be the spokespeople for it.

But if someone uses their song once, can they sue? From what you have written, they have to send a letter first and tell them to stop.

Thanks for clearing that up.
