@sarahjeong what's confusing me is that the lyrics/melody were in print before 1923, right? So how is it *not* public domain? -
@leeflower it's a rational conclusion but not the ruling in the case -
@sarahjeong ah, fair distinction, thanks. (Though reading further: it appears the authors didn't authorize publication of the lyrics) -
@sarahjeong follow-up question: can folks who've had to pay royalties now sue to have them returned? -
@leeflower that's a really good question! -
@leeflower my gut says no but I wonder if there's fraud claims that can be made? idk -
@sarahjeong Yes, I wonder! I think it might hinge on if fraud in a given jurisdiction requires intent or just negligence.
