I don't know much about composing, but can't you just write some music and then at the end write "Repeat until the heat death of the universe."

Wrong, a quindecillion is a number kids make up to emphasise how big something is.

If you are hearing music in this video, it is because YouTube changed their copyright policy and un-muted the track that was originally used. Originally the song that was used ('Murderers' by John Frusciante) was muted and there was a legitimate copyright notice below the video, without any indication that the muted song was something other than John Cage's 4'33", creating the illusion that John Cage composition of silence was muted. Now that the other song plays, the video doesn't really make sense.

Wait... loving what?!? He used a different song, I'm guessing as a joke, it got muted, then unmuted, and now he says the joke doesn't work because he achieved his original outcome???

Or he put a different song in there and muted it on purpose, which got the notice, then the song got unmuted, but why would he use that other song at all, and

Is my reading comprehension that far off?

It sounds like he purposely used a song that would get muted and give him the notice in order to make the joke. I'm guessing he had to use something, since whatever algorithm YouTube uses to detect copyright-infringing audio probably wouldn't work with silence; as long as it got the job done I don't think it really matters what music he actually used.

The hell?

He intentionally used a copyrighted song to get the audio blocked because it would be funny to people who know what 4:33 is and now the joke can't be done because youtube changed their policy on some copyrights.

E: You know that 4:33 is complete silence, right?

Write up the sheet music, slap a "© Wiggles Von Huggins, 2016" on it, and self-publish it.

Then go edit the "Longest Musical Piece" wikipedia page and send a link to Cage telling him the bad news

Actually 4'33 is not complete silence, but the music implicitly created by an audience in a big room listening to the silence emanated by a silently staring a hole in a grand piano for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. I think it should be played more often, if only because it shuts up one roomful of chucklefucks for 4'33. In fact, imma go flip it on right now.

Another video had a song that was blocked in Antarctica. Just Antarctica. I am guessing that was a joke by the copyright owner for that specific song.

LONDON, England -- A bizarre legal battle over a minute's silence in a recorded song has ended with a six-figure out-of-court settlement.

British composer Mike Batt found himself the subject of a plagiarism action for including the song, "A One Minute Silence," on an album for his classical rock band The Planets. He was accused of copying it from a work by the late American composer John Cage, whose 1952 composition "4'33"" was totally silent.

On Monday, Batt settled the matter out of court by paying an undisclosed six-figure sum to the John Cage Trust. Batt, who is best known in the UK for his links with the children's television characters The Wombles, told the Press Association: "This has been, albeit a gentlemanly dispute, a most serious matter and I am pleased that Cage's publishers have finally been persuaded that their case was, to say the least, optimistic. "We are, however, making this gesture of a payment to the John Cage Trust in recognition of my own personal respect for John Cage and in recognition of his brave and sometimes outrageous approach to artistic experimentation in music."

Batt credited "A One Minute Silence" to "Batt/Cage." Before the start of the court case, Batt had said: "Has the world gone mad? I'm prepared to do time rather than pay out. We are talking as much as £100,000 in copyright."Mine is a much better silent piece. I have been able to say in one minute what Cage could only say in four minutes and 33 seconds."

Batt gave a cheque to Nicholas Riddle, managing director of Cage's publishers Peters Edition, on the steps of the High Court, in London.

Riddle said: "We feel that honour has been settled "We had been prepared to make our point more strongly on behalf of Mr Cage's estate, because we do feel that the concept of a silent piece -- particularly as it was credited by Mr Batt as being co-written by "Cage" -- is a valuable artistic concept in which there is a copyright.

"We are nevertheless very pleased to have reached agreement with Mr Batt over this dispute, and we accept his donation in good spirit."

"A One Minute Silence" has now been released as part of a double A-side single

quote:

" But let's get this straight: John's silence was inferior to mine. My silence was digital and his was analogue. Also, mine was not played by an eight-piece band and his was not played by a solo clarinet."

Related to this: a musician was sued for releasing a track that was one minute of silence on the grounds that it was a section of 4:33
