Led Zeppelin Wins Stairway to Heavan Copyright Lawsuit
The long, expensive, messy ‘Stairway to Heaven’ case is over…
Today (June 23rd), a California federal jury officially rejected claims that Led Zeppelin stole the opening riff to their hit song ‘Stairway To Heaven’. The accusation was that the band blatantly lifted the critical guitar progression from a song called ‘Taurus,’ originally composed and performed by the rock band Spirit.
The long, drawn-out case capitulated with a six-day copyright trial in Los Angeles, followed by a rapid jury deliberation and decision. Despite Spirit attorney Francis Malofiy arguing vociferously that plagiarism had occurred, and putting Led Zeppelin into stumbling stammers on the stand, the case itself was mostly predatory and ridiculous. Ultimately, the presiding judge was swayed by Zeppelin’s attorneys, who fired back with evidence that the chord progression dates back as far as 400 years.
