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.
Characterized by areas of fibrous thickening on the lining of the lungs (pleura) or diaphragm, the condition typically arises 20 to 30 years after asbestos exposure. The plaques can calcify over time, but they do not cause long-term health problems. Pleural plaques are benign, which means they are not cancerous.
