July 28, 2012 The Legal Environment You Decide Submitted by Sabrina Beckham The dispute that we are deciding is whether the operator of a Bistro should be charged with copyright infringement. Johnny Singstealer has inherited the rights to the happy birthday song and is the current copyright holder. He has recently been made aware that the song is being sung by a local restaurant owner and has been being sung regularly for the last twenty years without paying him any licensing fees.
