  I don't know of many musical art which is copyrighted in the USA and not
copyrighted anywhere else.

  You seem to completely miss the point.
  It's not about pursuing the copyright violators. It's about avoiding
the IRTC admins from being sued because they are distributing copyrighted
material on their web server.
  Do you think that they are willing to take that risk?

  That's why there's a clear clausule in the IRTC rules that no copyrighted
material whatsoever may be used in the entries.
