Spirit suing Led Zep over Stairway

9th circuit ruled today that there was erroneous jury instruction and that the suit is reopened.

Teh spirit lives within us all.

I wonder about chord progressions sometimes. Did Green Day steal their opening from Styx?

Stairway to Heaven has some out of normal minor scale notes that sort of make it what it is, I would say if they copied those from the spirit song it’s a copy.Just listened to it, definitely a copy…

Well, yeah…

Quick listen and I think Page also got his idea for the beginning of In The Light from the beginning of the same spirit song.

Guess the lawyers are still hungry.

I dunno if it’s this board or a prior one, but in the music subforum WitchKing once started a thread about ripoff songs that never got sued over. I think I contributed a couple.
