The lawsuit was not stupid. They credited Cage as a composer, and
seeing as he had nothing to do with making the piece, they could have
at least gotten permission to use the composition they were
referencing if they were going to use his name on their work.
Just for fun:

Thanks for the links. I am sure Cage would have laughed about the
lawsuit. Who knows if Ed. Peters would have sued if he were still alive.
What the articles are missing, and I think that is an important aspect
of the work, is the various reactions of the audience when 4'33 is
performed. If you have the chance to listen (sic!) to such a
performance, don't miss it. Bear in mind that modern audiences are
usually informed about the nature of the piece and you are not likely
to witness very angry reactions. The grotesque aspect of it gets far
more attention today.
By the way, did you know that all four movements are available on
iTunes? 0,99€ each, as you would expect.
Again, I am sure he'd have laughed about it, happy about the discussion.
Oh yes, and did you know also that Cage did not listen to recorded
music at all?

Yeah but there could well be copyright issues if one person quotes
another person's nothing.
No, until now citations are allowed if they stay within reasonable
size
compared to the original. So you aren't allowed to quote the full
silence
but quoting short extracts from empty mails is okay... (*)
