After a legal battle, British composer Mike Batt paid a six figure settlement to the estate of John Cage for infringing on Cage's composition 4'33", four minutes and thirty six seconds of silence, with Batt's A One Minute Silence. Said Batt, "Mine is a much better silent piece. I have been able to say in one minute what Cage could only say in four minutes and 33 seconds."

Does this mean, we no longer have the right to remain silent?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
