I want to see if we can create a thread where we can learn something from EACH post, by posting little Known "Facts". The reason that they are "simple facts" means you just have to have some credible evidence about what your posting, for example:

Did you Know that the "Happy Birthday Song" is owned by Warner Music group? If you use the song in a "Public" (commercial) manner you may have to pay Royalties to Warner. According to; 'the Corporation' Movie, Disney had to pay $10,000 bucks to use it in one of their films.

I have a big Family...I wonder if that is considered Commercial purposes?
