The "Happy Birthday" story begins with two sisters from Kentucky Mildred J. Hill and Patty Smith Hill... One day in 1893 Patty... came up with the modest melody we now know as "Happy Birthday"; sister Patty added some simple lyrics and completed the creation of "Good Morning to All" a simple greeting song for teachers to use in welcoming students to class each day... Here the trail becomes murky--nobody really knows who wrote the words to "Happy Birthday to You" and put them to the Hills’ melody or when it happened. The "Happy Birthday to You" lyrics first appeared in a songbook edited by one Robert H. Coleman in March of 1924 where they were published as a second stanza to "Good Morning to You"; with the advent of radio and sound films "Happy Birthday" was widely popularized as a birthday celebration song and its lyrics supplanted the originals... The Chicago-based music publisher Clayton F. Summy Company working with Jessica Hill published and copyrighted "Happy Birthday" in 1935... so under current law the copyright protection of "Happy Birthday" will remain intact until at least 2030.  3, record 1, English, - Happy%20Birthday%20to%20You

In so far a peculiarity of German Copyright Act(the so called «strict melody protection») is important, but cannot easily be transferred to samplings of phonograms in the sense of fragments of sound, because, precisely, there is no melody in the traditional sense of the word.  1, record 2, English, - melody%20protection

[...] une particularité de la loi allemande sur le droit d'auteur, connue sous le nom de «règle de stricte protection des mélodies», reste importante mais ne peut être aisément appliquée à l'échantillonnage des enregistrements sonores, au sens où cela comprend des fragments musicaux, en raison, précisément, de l'absence de mélodie dans le sens traditionnel du terme.  1, record 2, French, - protection%20des%20m%C3%A9lodies
