Well welcome to the fight, copy rights are a money making scam. Do you know that I have to pay a bunch of lawyer if a band in my bar happens to sing an old Elves song. Copy rights are just a legal shake down lawyer scam.

The traditional "Happy Birthday" song is copyrighted.

I understand that Donald Trump is trademarking "Your Fired".

I'm all for reasonable Copyright Laws and protections - I'd hate to create a work, and have it ripped off. However, I am also in agreement with the Fair Use provisions - what we are doing IS Fair Use...
