Why Singing 'Happy Birthday' Used to Be Illegal — Copyright Law (Like You're 5) in 20 Minutes
⚖️ A corporation made over $2 million a year from a 16-word song written by two kindergarten teachers in 1893. For 80 years, nobody questioned it. Then one judge looked at the paperwork and said: you don't own this. 📜 This video breaks down ALL of copyright law — what it protects, how it starts, how long it lasts, what fair use really means, how enforcement works, and why AI is rewriting the rules — using real stories instead of legal jargon. ⏱️ 20 minutes. No law degree required. You'll walk away understanding the system that controls every song you stream, every photo you post, and every video you watch. 💡 By the end, you'll know more about copyright than most people learn in a lifetime — including the three myths almost everyone believes. 🔔 If this helped, share it with someone who creates content. They need this more than they think. 📖 Mentioned in this video: Lawrence Lessig — "Free Culture" Andy Warhol Foundation v. Goldsmith (2023) Thaler v. Perlmutter (2023–2026) Good Morning to You Productions v. Warner/Chappell Music (2013–2016) ⚖️ DISCLAIMER: This video is educational content, not legal advice.
