Ok, I lied when I said Cage's 4'33" would never be a download, as according to Alex Ross, they're adding it to iTunes this week.

To make matters stranger: you can select it as a ring tone.

So if you recorded 4'33", would you owe Cage's estate right's, or could you claim that it was another piece coincedentally named "4'33", but clearly your own work?
I expect to hear silence in reply.:-)

Actually, I'm wondering if Cage (or his Estate) sued the record label of the "3 minutes of silence" 45 that was all the rage on jukeboxes starting in 1953...
