SuperDave Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Probably heard about this some five years ago. There are some similarities, but nothing exact as Jimmy and the band certainly didn't steal it! I'm sure it's no coincidence that the remaining members of Taurus are bringing forth this suit with the upcoming boxes being released soon and with IV on the horizon for the Fall (which this suit coresponds too). The Jake Holmes suit for Dazed and Confused happended around the time with Celebration Day about to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone_Boss Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 One thing with copyright and trademark infringement is the length of time you wait to file suit. If you don't file suit when the infringement occurs then courts typically hold that against the plaintiff. You have to defend the infringement within a reasonable amount of time after it occurs. Otherwise your basically granting permission by not defending it and this happened a long time ago, they can't say they never heard STH until now either. It's like the movie Troll which came out in 1986 and had a character named Harry Potter, too late to sue now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bloggs Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Taurus and Stairway are so far apart that any court will Listen for 2 minutes to each song and throw The case out of court. There is no copyright Infringement here. None at all and the founder of Spirit Should be ashamed of himself. Sole writing credits for "Taurus" belong to Randy California, who is long since dead, devoured by a mudshark (maybe the song should be retitled "Tore us"?) I do think though the timing reflects poorly on those initiating the lawsuit. It appears for all intents and purposes a money grab, knowing full well that thousands of advanced orders have been placed for Led Zeppelin IV reissue.

Cookie0024 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Well, Friday night just got a whole lot more exciting. Now the question is: will I be able to make it to this event AND Nine Inch Nails at the O2 on the same night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie0024 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Nine Inch Nails you can see another time; this is once in a lifetime. There's your answer ;-) That was my plan, but I've checked and I should be able to head to the listening party, then onto the O2 for Nine Inch Nails who hit the stage at 9pm. Also, if anyone wants to head to the London listening party, I currently have a plus one slot that isn't taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesPaulPlayer Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Found out earlier today that I've also won tickets to the playback in London on Friday. Wonder if Jimmy will make an appearance... As an aside I'm also seeing Nine Inch Nails this week, although tomorrow night and not Friday! Hope you manage to make both events! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Very impressive. I'm not usually a fan of outtakes...but these are stellar. I heard the Zep I and II tracks but it was close to 3pm (EDT), when I had to return to work. I at least heard Jimmy's comments and got to hear through WLL. Love the Heartbreaker solo on the Tele!. Much in feel like the live versions of 71-2! Will catch up with the Zep III tracks shortly as I want to catch up with the news here first and hopefully done before Jimmy Fallon tonight. Busy day for Zep fans today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
