Why was Dolly able to do all these things?
Because BMI (and ASCAP) protect songwriter’s rights and songwriters are paid royalties for everything. Dolly never sold her immense catalog of songs and it made her a 9-figure fortune.

Dolly Parton was an uncredited producer on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When she learned the only female producer was making less than her male counterparts, Dolly cut her a check for the difference, on the spot.
A literal saint:

I don't think it matters where the cruise ship is at any point, it's still covered by the cruise lines' blanket ASCAP/BMI/Etc licenses.
When you DJ in international waters does the venue/cruise ship pay royalties (music composer, IIRC)?

No, as I understand it would require an entirely different ASCAP/BMI license to stream the songs than the one we're using for the dance at the convention. Sorry!
Any chance you’ll be streaming the dance? (Just curious…) 😄

as yet another ad uses a cover of a John Denver song, I am reminded that despite the enormous windfall that would come from selling their father's songs, they retain ownership of them to this day

Someone call ASCAP, BMI, etc. - zero percent chance the organizers are paying the licensing fees to allow any of these bands to cover other people's work.

Not only do I get royalties as novelist, but also as a composer and songwriter! However, as this recent statement in my ASCAP account shows, those royalties are rather... less.

I'm a member of ASCAP because if I don't take my music royalties seriously, then someone else will take them ... seriously.
