I know, I know, I’m two days behind on this one. I got really busy earlier this week and totally forgot about it until earlier tonight, so here we go.
JibJab settled their suit against Ludlow (out of court) because, as the EFF discovered, Ludlow failed to renew the copyright after the song was published in a 1945 songbook. Brilliant move, guys.
Now, how about a criminal prosecution for fraud, since they’ve been demanding royalties from people who have used the song since 1973, when the copyright expired?
