Led Zeppelin to Face Jury Trial for 'Stairway to Heaven' Copyright Lawsuit
Judge Gary Klausner decided the songs were similar enough to move forward with a jury trial, which has been scheduled for May 10.

"It is no coincidence that the iconic notes to 'Stairway to Heaven,' that have enthralled generations of fans, sound almost exactly the same as California’s ethereal yet classical guitar composition in 'Taurus,'" the complaint states.

If Zepplin loses, they will have to hand over all profits since the song was released. And while knows. Perhaps they have been trying to get this solved without lawyers/press for years.

But if you have heard the original soundtrack in question, you would agree with the lawsuit. They are very very similar.
