-    <p>Unfortunately, a series of recent legal rulings have forced us to suspend our campaign.

In 2016, a settlement was <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/10/business/media/details-of-happy-birthday-copyright-settlement-revealed.html">announced</a> that calls for a judge to officially declare that the song is public domain.</p>

-    <p>We are currently planning a campaign to push for a retroactive extension of copyright law to place “Happy Birthday,” and other works, back into the private domain where they belong!
