Read an interesting one today, and was reminded of this:

MUSIC GROUP SUED FOR SILENCE

The British group The Planets, who in their latest album begun with 60 seconds of silence, is now in danger of being sued. The ones attempting the law suit is the estate of the composer John Cage, who are accusing the group of plagiarism. Cage wrote the piece "4'33", which is essentially 273 seconds of silence. The groups spokesman is confident that it will come to nothing, however, as they think it would be notably difference to pick out which 60 seconds of the 273 that is supposed to have been copied.
