Led Zeppelin Wins
CNBC [cnbc.com] and others report Led Zeppelin prevailed in the great Riff Robbery case:
Led Zeppelin did not steal a riff from an obscure 1960s instrumental tune to use for the introduction of its classic rock anthem "Stairway to Heaven," a federal court jury decided Thursday.
The verdict in Los Angeles settles a point that music fans have debated for decades but didn't find its way to court until two years ago, when the trustee for the late Randy Craig Wolfe filed a copyright lawsuit.
It may or may not be worthwhile, but it still has to be done.
