I thought that was the amount of time that a piece of food could sit on the floor before becoming inedible. ;)

Subject: The origin of the "7 second rule"

Does anybody know where the story of the "7 second rule" (about how a song can copy 7 second from another song without it being infringement) came about? I heard it again this morning on the radio on the way in to work, from a guy who runs a local theatre which attracts some fairly big musical acts.
