Happy Birthday, Free Culture Movement

Just over a year ago, April 23, 2004, at Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA, more than 100 students met to launch the Free Culture Movement.

Um diesen Geburtstag würdig zu begehen, hat Creative Commons unter dem Motto Donate and Download eine spezielle Version von “Happy Birthday” aufgenommen.

Of course, to do this, we had to license the rights from Harry Fox (who represent Warner Chappell Music, the copyright owner of the composition) — yes, “Happy Birthday” is still under copyright — but the folks at Harry Fox were willing to give us a pretty good deal. Unfortunately, that deal does not transfer, so while you’re free to download this version and play it “for personal use”, and free to engage in any “fair use” of the song, the rights we have to give don’t include much more than that.
