Copyrighted silence

Not that you should follow the illegal instructions on that web page. But it does get you thinking about copyright... Of course, one almost has to ask about John Cage's 3'22" in this context. I think that is, however, a different matter, since it really is a piece of music, analog silence as it were as opposed to digital silence (genuine emptiness). But perhaps that's a matter for the philosophers among us?
