Performing Happy Birthday via email
Date: September 17, 2009
I thought I knew most of the copyright issues, but technology has passed me by!
One can't perform Happy Birthday in public gatherings or record and sell it because it's under copyright. But what about a group recording it and emailing it to friends, subscribers, etc, free? It's not quite a public gathering, as it's going directly to one person.
And what about the possibility of our singers and subscribers sending our recoridng of Happy Birthday to their friends form our website. Not for commercial use, not for public/general us, bu thte public would have access to it to send to friends.
This would be the same for other non-public domain songs as well, like Have Yourself a Merry Little Cmas or some such...
Thanks!
