American court ends Stairway to Heaven | Entertainment

entertainment">A jury already ruled in March that the song from 1971 did not resemble Spirit’s song enough Taurus (1968) to be called plagiarism. Spirit’s attorneys then wanted to take the case to the Supreme Court, but the court has decided not to consider the case.

entertainment">This means that the ruling of the lower court will stand. Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page admitted in court, however, the first Spirit album from 1968, on which the song Taurus stands to have in his collection of more than four thousand records. But he said he could not remember whether he had listened to the album.
