See also here. On the programme this evening Lebrecht expressed the view that this case really should have gone to a court hearing, since the idea that you can copyright silence has still not been legally tested.

This could cause some interesting issues with the Berne convention as and when it is...

No you have got it all wrong.

In fact this guy is a plagiarist, not an inventor. He stole the idea from Marcel Marceau!

Someone else on the AMIA list mentioned that the artist credited John Cage as a co-writer on the CD. If that is the case, then that's how he dug his own grave.
