And in fact, Cage's copyright extends only to that particular
composition of four minutes and thirty-three seconds of silence, not
to every silence of that length.

(Although for some reason I was under the impression that it was
originally presented as a sequence of rests of varying duration in
standard musical notation.  I'm not sure of the lost "original
Woodstock manuscript" described in Wikipedia is what I think I
remember.)
