Many - including Justice Breyer in his dissent in Eldred v. Ashcroft - have portrayed it as an unoriginal work that is hardly worthy of copyright protection, but nonetheless remains under copyright. Yet close historical scrutiny reveals both of those assumptions to be false. The song that became "Happy Birthday to You," originally written with different lyrics as "Good Morning to All," was the product of intense creative labor, undertaken with copyright protection in mind. However, it is almost certainly no longer under copyright, due to a lack of evidence about who wrote the words; defective copyright notice; and a failure to file a proper renewal application. 000025786 650_0 $$aCopyright 000025786 650_4 $$aMusic$$xHistory 000025786 85641 $$uhttps://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1111624$$yView this resource 000025786 903__ $$aJournal of the Copyright Society of the USA$$vWinter-Spring 2009, Vol 56, No 2-3, pages 335-426 000025786 904__ $$aJournal article 000025786 942__ $$cART$$2ddc 000025786 952__ $$w2010-05-14$$p2010-0417$$u39912$$bMAIN$$10$$kUS 14$$v2010-05-14$$zLibrary$$71$$cLibrary 000025786 980__ $$aBIB 000025786 999__ $$c28152$$d28152
