Court rules Led Zeppelin did not plagiarize riff for "Stairway to Heaven"
Led Zeppelin did not steal the opening guitar riff for its iconic song "Stairway to Heaven," a federal appeals court ruled Monday. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin were accused of plagiarizing the 1968 song "Taurus" by the band Spirit. Led Zeppelin also performed a cover of a Spirit song, 'Fresh Garbage.'

Page, Plant and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones all testified at the original trial, although Jones was not involved in the lawsuit.
