Matt Rogalsky, a Canadian artist in England, is making a
sound piece out of all the silences in 24-hours of BBC
radio.
the reason this is relevant here is that the BBC stated that
they were "treating it in a light-hearted way, despite the
fact that it is illegal." So we're supposed to accept
that even silence can be owned...

"But certainly for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, the appearance to the essence...illusion only is sacred, truth profane. Nay, sacredness is held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be the highest degree of sacredness." - Ludwig Feuerbach
