The song “Happy Birthday to You” is an example of just how interesting the world is. Think about this song---it is only 6 notes. Yet it is one of the best-known songs in the world. It was written in 1893 by Mildred and Patty Hill and first published with the words, “Good morning to you”.
The word “Happy Birthday to You” were first seen in print in 1924, although
the author is unknown. The Clayton F. Summy Company became the song’s
publisher in 1935. Through a series of purchases and acquisitions(收买), the
song now belongs to AOL Time Warner. ASCAP represents the song for public performance licensing.
The copyright to Happy Birthday to You should have expired(过期) in1991,
but copyright Act of 1976 extended(延伸）it，and the Copyright Term Exten-
sion Act of 1998 extended it again, so the song is protected until 2030 at least.
