"As my mother said when I told her, 'which part of the silence are
they claiming you nicked?'. They say they are claiming copyright on
a piece of mine called 'One Minute's Silence' on the Planets' album,
which I credit Batt/Cage just for a laugh. But my silence, not a
quotation from his silence."

The idea of being assaulted by copywrite lawyers for copying silence
is one of the funniest things I've read in a while. It really breaks the practice
of copywriting down to a new low (or high!).

I'm new to the list, my name is Peter Lasell, I live in Williamsburg Brooklyn,
am a visual and audio artist (www.abattoir.com/~flint/index.htm). I'm involved with
www.glowlab.com and www.freebiennial.com as well as writing and reporting on
fine art and audio installations for a local arts mag called M.
