I'd be pissed at whoever gave them to me.

Ac/DC is pretty good live if u like cannons and fire and that sorta thing.  Axl sucks now.

I've been following this for a while. There's a lot of money on the line and a the claim is not easily dismissed (and the judge clearly agrees.)

Curious to see how this plays before a jury.

This is interesting

Everything is based on something else. Many songwriters "borrow" from someone else.

No doubt, these sound similar. Plagiarism? I'm curious too.

[Buffalo Budd]

What about the rest? (I think some have won lawsuits actually)

[sls.stormyrider]

Did LZ do it more than other artists, or are they targeted because they have more money?

one I just heard about - listen to the chord progression of  Werewolves of London, then Sweet Home Alabama

i thought it was well known that zep were rip off artists.

LZ stole complete verses and melodies without crediting the songwriters. It's one thing to cop a riff as that is bound to happen with all of the music out there, it's another to completely steal the idea.

ETA. I still love LZ and always will, I just respect them less.

Or you could listen to the Kid Rock song. 



Just kidding, I don't recommend anyone ever listen to Kid Rock.

So the guy passed away almost 20 years ago and his family is just now coming after LZ for the cash? Seems petty to me. Then again, if it turns out their dad was indeed ripped off I can kind of understand..

This has been in litigation for some time, actually.
