Batt had included a track called A Minute's Silence on an album, with the piece listed as by Batt /Cage, and the point at issue was whether Batt 's silence was a direct copy of Cage's silence and thus involved an infringement of Cage's copyright.
COPD from Asbestos. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a double dose of misery that develops in the lungs and does not ever go away. It is primarily associated with smoking; COPD is a term for chronic bronchitis combined with emphysema.
COPD can cause coughing that produces large amounts of mucus (a slimy substance), wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD. Most people who have COPD smoke or used to smoke. Long-term exposure to other lung irritantsâsuch as air pollution, chemical fumes, or dustâalso may contribute to COPD.
