Working For Free
By my mentor in Avid editing; the great Kevin P McAuliffe.

STOP WORKING FOR FREE!

Warner/Chappell Music
“Among the songs in the company’s library are “Winter Wonderland” and formerly “Happy Birthday to You” until the copyright of the song was invalidated in 2015 and put in the public domain the next year.[7]”
