Very vague....really a stretch to compare those two. Just a money grab. Why did they wait so long?

I disagree,

Both sound extremely similar to me.

I think it was very unfair to the plaintiffs that the judge did not allow Spirit's song Taurus to be played during the trial.

It is weird for the judge to do that.

Experts who testified for the trust said the two songs bear striking similarities, while defense experts said they shared a common musical building block.

The lawsuit said Led Zeppelin had a history of ripping off works by other songwriters and had settled at least six other copyright cases.

Because Marvin Gaye's family got to a little more blood from that stone. I think Robin Thicke of course sucks, but he got screwed. Glad they put an end to that shite.

I've pointed out the guitar riff in the Doors "5 to 1" and a riff/progression in "Black" are similar. Many people have used that riff. For decades.
