I assume you know that he is dead:)  I like to think that if he were alive
today that none legal battles would have happened.  The piece in question by
the british composer who's name currently escapes my memory(Anyone?) was
more of an homage to Cage, tongue in cheek if you will.  Also i wonder what
would he think of the current microsound scene.
