From The Independent:

Mike Batt, the man behind the Wombles and Vanessa Mae, has put a silent 60-second track on the album of his latest classical chart-topping protégés, the Planets. This has enraged representatives of the avant-garde, experimentalist composer John Cage, who died in 1992. The silence on his group's album clearly sounds uncannily like 4'33", the silence composed by Cage in his prime.

only musicians would compare silences, and decide that one was derivative and/or copyright infringement

Copyrighting silence...not a bad idea! It's almost as good an idea as copyrighting "splortch" and sueing id for copyright infringement for every single gib in quake.

Perhaps it's more background noise than slience?
