I didn't know that.

*checks*

...

I actually knew that.

It's also why you can only find the sheet music for song it's derived from without copyright infringement :S

I just have one thing to say;

Why?

I mean really is some one going to clame that they wrote the brithday song and get rich of it?

Why?

I kinda sorta knew this...

Sorta knew. The guys at homestarrunner.com had to remove it from one of their toons when they put it on a DVD, and changed it to Hot Cross Buns. Which can't be copyrighted, I guess...should check up on that one, too.

....Seriously? Why? How did you learn that?

And for that matter, who owns the rights?

-toa mazo's sister

I wonder if all those (annoying) restaurant staffers who disrupt my dinner at places like Ruby Tuesday's, Applebee's and similar places realize they're breaking my ears AND the law.

Weird. I knew this, but still... how did they sing it in Batman Begins?

-Dr. K

Mebbe because Happy Birthday is licensed by Warner Music group and WB also has the rights to the Batman Begins movie? :\ Dunno.

That's really weird. My question is "why?"

Come to think of it, I haven't heard it on TV in ages. Creepy that they copyrighted an age old song like that.
