Led Zeppelin win Stairway To Heaven copyright court case
Led Zeppelin have won the court case accusing them of stealing their song “Stairway to Heaven”. The UK band were accused of stealing the 1971 rock classic from the song Taurus, written by Randy Wolfe, a guitarist in the band Spirit. The lawsuit claimed that the famous introduction to Stairway to Heaven was too similar to the riff in Taurus, a record that guitarist Jimmy Page admitted to owning.
