Happy Birthday is still under copyright until 2030 in the US. It shouldn't be but the entire realm of IP law is a mess in the US and broken.
Personally I break the DRM on my books and since I don't distribute the chance of anyone suing me is infinitesimal. No copyright owner wants to be the one to establish case law where stripping DRM is permitted. And suing the purchaser of an ebook for stripping the DRM so as to move off of dying platforms is too risky for the copyright owner.
