You Say It's Your Birthday
Robert Brauneis at George Washington University Law School has written a paper on the history of what may be the world’s most oft-infringed piece of music. No, it’s not a Britney Spears ditty or a LimeWire hit. It’s “Happy Birthday,” which was originally written with different lyrics as “Good Morning to All.”
Mr. Brauneis has also created a vast online repository of documents and sound recordings related to legal disputes over the song.—Catherine Rampell
