Wow. How many times does a case have to be tried and dismissed to make it actually go away? This is an example of "sue and sue and sue again, no matter how many times you are defeated until you get the result you want.
This case was overturned before when it was demonstrated that the guy who wrote the Tarus song, stole the melody from a song ten years before him, and then that was taken from a melody from the 1500's. It is a long standing progression and another nonsense case.
My favorite statement from the trial was when Page said something to the effect as 'I don't remember the SIXTIES. If you think I remember some obscure riff, your daft." Half of what Zepplin did were melodies and riffs from old blues songs, and of course there is NEVER a BLUES SONG that sounds like another BLUES SONG. And if you think a major headliner is going to go and even LISTEN to an opening act, especially when you have babes, drugs and every kind of distraction in your dressing room you apparently have NEVER been around a major rock tour, especially in that era. Read "WHEN GOD'S WALKED THE EARTH" by Mick Wall.
Another example of the "Sue Somebody" mentality of today's lawsuit lottery. Those that can't do, sue. Nonsense no matter how many times it's done. But another real world example of why money for music will someday simply be gone.
