  1. As a professional musician and current law-student, I must say I'm puzzled how this "case" is admitted into court in the first place. To me these songs sound nothing alike. If you really want to, you could hear a resemblance . But where does it end? First off, I'd say sue Eric Clapton as well. His song "Let it Grow" (461 Ocean Boulevard) has more resemblance to "Stairway to Heaven" than the latter to "Taurus". Especially the ending of "Let it Grow". Don't get me wrong, I really love that song, but that's what happens in art; we get inspired by it. And if you're an artist, you could find yourself creating something out of that inspiration. And than one has to tread carefully. I remember once writing something which I thought was cool. When I played it before my teacher though, he said it sounded exactly like another song. He was right. It happened to be an instrumental I heard only once and at least a year before. So yeah, our brain is a strange place. I could imagine something like this happening to Jimmy Page in respect to this Taurus song. Or it's just b.s. And like I said, where does this end? Ed Sheeran might think that Adele's "Hello" resembles his "I See Fire" a little too much and I might agree with him. And so on, and so on....
