+<p>The best way to stop infringement is to tell the authorities and
+the owners so that they can follow up and arrange for a license and
+for royalties to be paid. Licenses for <em>Happy Birthday</em> are
+controlled by ASCAP. While for a single restaurant performance,
+monetary royalties will be negligable, it is the principle that is at
+stake.</p>

+<p>If you have seen someone singing happy birthday in a restaurant, a
+park, or at a school, you should tell ASCAP so that they can arrange
+for a license. If you are an offender, you should apologize and offer
+to pay whatever is due — a nickel, a quarter, a dollar —
+whatever ASCAP demands.</p>
