Personally I think that 95 years is too long. I don't think it should be longer than the average person's life span. But there is evidence that happy birthday was published at least as early as 1912, so how can it still be under copyright?

It is a broken system which does not help the artist' family but it benefits companies. This article from 2002 after Congress extended copyright from life plus 50 years to life plus 70. http://articles.latimes.com/2002/mar/03/opinion/op-tasini
