"Happy Birthday" song is copyrighted
- dalke 15y agoA much better URL is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You#Copyright_status http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You#Copyright... . (I'm assuming 'better' without looking at the original URL because it looks like it has a tracking id in the URL.) Short version: "In European Union (EU) countries the copyright will expire December 31, 2016,[7] while in the United States, the song is currently set to pass in to the public domain in 2030."
