Led Zeppelin On Trial Over Stairway To Heaven

Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant and Jimmy Page have appeared in US court for the start of a civil trial in a copyright claim over the band's classic Stairway To Heaven. A Los Angeles jury will decide whether the rock icons stole the opening chords of the 1971 hit song from another band. A trustee of late guitarist Randy Wolfe from the band Spirit accuses Led Zeppelin of ripping the song Taurus, which Wolfe wrote in 1966 or 1967.
