    He’s going to have to fall back to public domain songs like “Happy Birthday to You!”.

      Crazy thing is, it’s only been public domain for 9 years.

      The song is in the public domain in the United States and the European Union. Warner Chappell Music had previously claimed copyright on the song in the US and collected licensing fees for its use; in 2015, the copyright claim was declared invalid and Warner Chappell agreed to pay back $14 million in licensing fees.
