COPYRIGHT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Did you know that this song had a copyright? Not any more.

The tune was composed by two Kentucky sisters in 1893.

Mildred and Patty Hill called their version Good Morning To All, which later evolved into the song that is popularly sung at birthday parties around the world.

Warner/Chappell had been collecting copyright fees since 1988 but a decision by Judge George H. King of United States District Court in Los Angeles,stating that their copyright is not valid, is a blow to the music publisher Warner/Chappell and its parent company, the Warner Music Group, which have controlled the song since 1988 and reportedly still collect some $2 million annually in licensing fees for it.

More on the topic of copyright at our discussion group.

TALKING GROUP

The topic today 30th September is the interesting discovery in Peru of well preserved mummies, a ritual observed by the 'people in the clouds' the Chachapoya . They lived at very high altitudes in Kuelap, Peru. These mummies were covered in beautifully woven colourful cloths.
Ancient Egypt observed similar rituals.
Right now  archeologists hope to find the tomb of Nefertiti.
What do these practices tell us about their civilizations?
