There is a map that was made for me and for one short (15 seconds?) segment in there the Happy Birthday tune plays in MIDI form using piano, is ContentID gonna have a shitfit because of this?

Believe it or not, I believe the happy birthday jingle is copyrighted.

God damnit, how can something so common be copyrighted? And to who? Probably some big publisher (Warner/Chappel, screw you!) who thinks they can throw their weight around for it. .__.

Paul McCartney owns the rights to Happy Birthday, I think.

Yeah, I've heard that too. I was watching a VLogger a few months ago who was at a birthday party and he was explaining he had to edit out people singing "Happy Birthday" when the cake came out because of possible copyright issues.

The song really should be public domain because of how commonly used it is.
