In California, a federal judge ruled that Warner/Chappell Music does not own the copyright rights to the famous “Happy Birthday to You” song. He determined the song’s original copyright, obtained by the Clayton F. Summy Co. from the song’s writers, only covered specific piano arrangements of the song and not its lyrics, according to the New York Daily News. The lawsuit was filed two years ago by Good Morning To You Productions Corp., which is working on a documentary film tentatively titled “Happy Birthday.” The company challenged the copyright now held by Warner/Chappell Music Inc., arguing that the song should be “dedicated to public use and in the public domain.” The lawsuit also asked for monetary damages and restitution of more than $5 million in licensing fees it said Warner/Chappell had collected from thousands of people and groups who’ve paid to use the song over the years.
