some one released a song called "one minute silence" or such like
which was just that

some other bloke released an album with a song with the same or similar title
the band stopped playing ... you could hear caughing and just shuffling of feet but nothing was played

2nd album blokie was sued by 1st

for what doing NOTHING and recording it?

so do the bbc have to pay this guy royalties every 11/11 with their extended version?

hell that means microsoft is in breach as to get a good length file out of sound recorder i had to record a minute (its then max) and copy it onto the end till i got the desired length (this stopped when i got a streaming recording proggie that WORKED)

saying its cos of the name kinda invalidates the claim as their are 3 different songs called the power of love that i know of
frankie goes to hollywood
jennifer rush / celine dion
hewie lewis and the news
and afaik they never got into trouble with each other
bands sharing the same name is confusing though
