Naemanson, I have posted the exact same absence of text on other threads and am frankly shocked to find you claiming this absence as your own!
This is a clear case of blatant plagiarism and you will be hearing from my lawyers!

You know, so many classical composers incorporated silence into their works that I'd think Batt would have no problem proving "prior art."

How would you prove it's the SAME silence?

Be careful if you do NOT post!
I claim the copyright on "absence of text"

Similar to the copyright on silence which is the absence of sound...

Quite absurd.

The only certainty is that some lawyers will get richer...

We've discussed copyright a hundred times here at the 'Cat, but this story takes the cake...

Music Publisher claims copyright on silence

Based on this logic, I hope you'll all honour my new one-note composition titled Concert C! LOL
