Led Zeppelin are sued over the song Stairway to Heaven

Whilst British band Led Zeppelin were famous and entered rock history, leader and guitarist of Spirit, whose song Taurus is supposed to have inspired Stairway to Heaven, ended up playing in a Indian Restaurant in exchange for food. Randy California died in 1994 but now his relatives and friends have saved enough money  to sue Led Zeppelin over the song Stairway to Heaven. Did Led Zeppelin rob the song? Check out by yourself.

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN VS TAURUS




Song Taurus was recorded prior to Stairway to Heaven. What is more, Led Zeppelin were touring with Spirit when they did play that song Taurus. Now, they request Led Zeppelin to include the name of Randy California to be credited as author of such a famous song. Led Zeppelin composed Stairway to Heaven years later in Wales, a theme that generates plenty of money. Will it be enough? Will Led Zeppelin recognize this or there is no wrongdoing? Are we talking about inspiration or plagiarism?.
