Happy Birthday to You in 2030

Did you know that the song "Happy Birthday to You" is copyrighted and won't go into public domain until the year 2030?

Written by two sisters while they both were teaching kindergarten, the song now brings in over $2 million dollars in royalties every year and is currently owned by AOL Time-Warner.

There's a fascinating article on it over on Snopes.com: Happy Birthday, We'll Sue.
