[/quote] You clearly have never listened to pop songs much, there are countless thousands of songs that are very similar to each other. This is the way music is created. Theres little chance you could create a totally original piece that its also catchy and pleasing to the ear. If the court would have ruled Led Zeppelin stole, then they would have opened the biggest can of worms in history. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOlDewpCfZQ[/youtube] [/quote]
Original Message
A Los Angeles jury has decided the band Led Zeppelin did not steal the opening to its classic anthem "Stairway to Heaven."
The federal jury reached its verdict Thursday, settling a point that music fans have debated for decades but didn't find its way to court until two years ago.
The trust for the late songwriter Randy Wolfe claimed Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant stole a riff from Wolfe's 1968 instrumental "Taurus" recorded with the band Spirit.
