The Tangle That is Happy Birthday
The Tangle That is Happy Birthday
Despite everyone’s carefree joy in singing Happy Birthday to You, this simple song puts you in legal jeopardy every time it exits your mouth. picked by Bornbad 11 months ago

Well...not really. If I sing it it doesn't violate copyright, if it is truly still under copyright. If I sing it in a movie (gawd forbid) then according to copyright laws if I haven't received permission from the copyright holder(s), then I may be in violation. If my recording of the song (again, that would be awful), was played on the radio during the Top Songs of 2009 Marathon on Q104.3 FM, then it would be in copyright violation if they hadn't paid royalties to the copyright holder(s), if this song is still under copyright protection.

Not that I think it is.

At least that's my interpretation of copyright laws.

Either way, I'm astounded to learn that this song may be still under copyright protection.

It's goes to show you how greedy people can be. This reminds me of that Russian guy who decided to copyright the ':)'
