Is 4'33" out of copyright now?

- yborg 9y agoWhy would I pay $0.99 for less than half of the nothing?
- drcongo 9y agoI was alluding to the legend that John Cage once sued for copyright infringement another artist who released a silent track. Nobody told you to buy it.

- roberto 9y agoAn important that detail is that they released and acknowledged it was a derivation of Cage's piece. IIRC that was the basic for the lawsuit.
- KGIII 9y agoYou should get the heavy metal cover. I'm not even kidding, it exists.
- SyneRyder 9y agoDo you mean Cage Against The Machine, the cover version that included Imogen Heap and Orbital in the band? https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/dec/06/cage-against-machine-x-factor https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/dec/06/cage-against-m...
- ilikepi 9y agoI don't believe it is...I wonder if we'll see another lawsuit from the John Cage estate. I bought a copy of 4'33" on iTunes when I got my iPhone 3GS in 2010 to deal with this auto-play issue in my car. It worked well, and I suspect if more people were familiar with that composition before the release of this new track, 4'33" would have received more sales.
