How is there not a statute of limitations on something like this? Taurus came out in 1968, Stairway to Heaven came out in 1971. Over 45 years and this lawsuit is allowed to proceed? Second: Where does a substantial similarity begin and end if chord progressions are to be sued over.So even if it wasn’t intentionally copied, it makes it plausible that this chord progression could have filtered into Jimmy Page and Robert Plant’s minds. That might be enough to make them liable to Randy Wolfe.

copyright in music is super fucked up right now, especially in the UK and the States.
