Actually, that particular song is still under copyright.ozchick wrote:As far as I know, music that's older than 50 years doesn't have to be considered re copyright laws. Same goes for 'traditional' music where the origins aren't clear. Re-vamped versions of these older pieces are often a good way to go. However when using more recent music, care should be taken. Having said that, the song Happy Birthday has been sung by all and sundry for well over 70 years but has really only reached it's 'free of copyright' status in the last 30 or so.
