    I'll be happy once this allows all the restaurants to start singing the same birthday song. They all add their own tweak so they don't have to be pay or get sued, and its rather annoying.

    Do trademark and copyright laws benefit the creators, or the lawyers?

    Does the copyright thing here only extend to the borders of the US?

    Have restaurants here singing the usual happy birthday quite frequently.
