" Happy Birthday " song freed from copyright laws

Copyright on " Happy Birthday " song  As a democratic Socialist I have thought for many years now that one of the greatest absurdities of the capitalist system is its copyright and intellectual property laws. A moment's inspiration in an creative person's head -the opposite of EXTRAORDINARY PERSONAL EFFORT-should not entitle that person to a lifetime of entitlement parasitism.
But even EXTRAORDINARY PERSONAL EFFORT has its rational limits. Medical science has only one objective measure of human mental and physical effort: CALORIES. A clinical thermometer would confirm the social ideal of egalitarianism.
How feverish is the brain of " genius " Bill Gates ? Or any other " brilliant " CEO ?
Happy Birthday to " the " Happy Birthday " song. Socialism will abolish ALL intellectual property- along with all other PRIVATE PROPERTY used only to exploit and oppress the masses.
