Things aren’t looking good for Led Zep, band members questioned over “Stairway” alleged infringement…

Led Zeppelin lost their battle against Willie Dixon in the past but could the band lose again? Hopefully not. This isn’t look too good for Led Zep ’cause the band been questioned by the federal court.

I’m hoping Led Zep will prevail though ’cause it would be sad if Spirit wins. If Spirit wins the demands would be pretty harsh too. Spirit is asking for lots of money in damages, plus they demand Randy California to get a writing credit in “Stairway”.

I don’t know why Led Zep is a huge target for “plagiarism” so much. I mean look at the Rolling Stones and The Beatles. Those two iconic bands rip off songs all the time but you never see people get mad at them either.
