Dear colleagues,
I weas very glad to read about the recent discussion on "happy
birthday". I have checked the legal situation in Germany and found
out that the song is still under protection under German law (due to
a lot of complexe international treaties and EU regulations). I
cannot prove that idea writing in English as that would take a lot of
pages. But I have written an article for a book in honour of my
colleague Otto Sandrock for his 70th birthday (so this was a good
opportunity to deal with that topic). The article has been written
unfortunately in German. If you are however interested, I can send
the WORD text to you. Just give me a mail.
Best regards Thomas Hoeren
