>A jury rules in the band (Led Zeppelin)'s favor after hearing testimony and arguments that the iconic song was a copyright infringement of Spirit's "Taurus."
>Zeppelin rips off countless blues songs, riffs, and lyrics
>the least interesting of them goes to court
Of course they got off. Now if it was Zep vs. the Howlin' Wolf estate, those grandpas would be flat broke by the end.
But the guys suing them were another dadrock band.

Then again, the Howlin' Wolf estate could take the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith to the cleaners as well.

How are dadrock haters BTFO? No one actually wanted Led Zeppelin to lose. It would've meant the end of music if they did. The Blurred Lines lawsuit was scary enough.

what is the howlin' wolf estate???<??
>>65884839
>not knowing based Howlin Wolf
He's an old blues legend who is dead and now has an estate to cover his Property
>>65884361
Still a shit song by a shit band.
The Backdoor Wolf [Chess, 1973]
There's more talent in this 63 year old's large intestine than passes through Sunset Recorders in a month. You think Steve Stills could come up with something as clever as Coon In The Moon and then turn it in an ironic call of pride? The Wolf hasn't been in this fine a form in years. Suggestion--get rid of the electric piano player. A-
PIECE OF YOUR CUSTARD PIE
>>65884361
Nah, but they probably did nick it from 'em
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU SWEAT
>>65884403
least interesting, but their biggest hit. not to mention the solo which desu stands out and gave it that extra extra ++ prom song of the 70's
I think the question that has to be asked is: If this wasn't Led Zeppelin, would they have gotten away with it? They probably had really, really good/expensive lawyers.
>>65884598
Everything has haters, even Led Zeppelin
>>65885312
Would Pete Townshend have gotten away with downloading CP if he wasn't Pete Townshend?
>>65885312
Who cares? It has to do with legality, not musicality.
>>65886553
he didn't download child porn he used his credit card to go on a regular pornsite and that one had an ad that said "click here for child porn" but he did not but he got in trouble when they investigated because at the time they couldn't tell if he actually clicked on it
>>65886553
I can just imagine some nostalgic twat of a judge who was all like "Ah, I used to bloody love Tommy when I was 16. My favourite record of all time next to Village Green Preservation Society. No way would I sentence my childhood hero to the clink."
>>65886725
>being a rockstar
>going to a pornsite
What a fucking cuck lmao
Just a coincidence they toured together before they made Stairway to Heaven
Good. Accusations of "plagiarism" in music are fucking retarded, especially music that's ultimately based around blues and folk standards.
Everyone who seriously supported Spirit in this case did so solely because Led Zeppelin are popular and are "dadrock."
>>65886828
This is the thing that gets me about it. You could chalk it down to coincidence if there were no connection, but they actually played together on at least two occasions, Led Zeppelin covered Fresh-Garbage, and Page nicked the idea to use a therimin off of them. Is it really that unlikely that a part of a song recorded a year after they played together, which features a descending acoustic guitar line playing similar parts in the same key might have been nicked off of them as well? And this is Led Zeppelin we're on about here, who are pretty much the John Dillingers of Classic Rock.

He was actually doing research for an anti-child abuse charity.
I have no sympathy for pedos at all and think they should be put away but Pete's story checks out.
>>65886929
If you knew how to play guitar you would know they have little in common.
>>65886939
>>65886725
I think he said both actually. I think he said first that it was for the charity, then later investigations showed he wasn't even looking for it.
It reminds of that Father Ted episode where they find the missing whistle in Ted's pocket.
Was Christgau the only person on the planet who thought ITTOD was actually a good album and not a turd shit out by a dying band on its last legs?
>>65884361
Right, can everyone shut the fuck about this now? Many thanks!
Did their lawyer use the Chewbacca defense?
I bet Spirit are miffed that they're now the only pre-1970 band who were legally NOT plagiarised by Led Zeppelin

Howlin' Wolf's estate couldn't take them to court because Howlin' Wolf didn't write any of the songs they stole from him.
>>65887048
It wasn't even Spirit that was suing them, it was the children of one of the members of Spirit.
Copyright had done more harm to creativity than its done good and the only reason its so strictly enforced is because of corporations like Disney.
