It's not so much the artist's fault, it's the publishers and owners of old music catalogs they bought when the songs were about to go public domain (i.e. Michael Jackson and the Beatles).
Tiki Bill.

Bill, it is funny that you mention Michael Jackson. I beleive he owns the rights to "Happy Birthday." So, any restaurant that sings it's guest "Happy Birthday" does have to pay for it.
