Default Led Zepplin Involved In Another Copyright Lawsuit

I fond this a bit interesting; Led Zep has a reputation for having "borrowed" freely to create some of their biggest hits. This borrowing has resulted in a rather large number of lawsuits and rewriting of song credits initially given to Page, Plant or other member of the band:

I really have a bit of a distaste for "Stairway" due to the fact a former Los Angeles rock radio station had the habit of playing the song once an hour for years until the station finally went to a "slow jazz" format. The only other time I have been in the state of mind to dislike a band/song was, in recent years, when a local "classic rock" station had a General Manager who was a huge fan of the band Rush. He basically required the playing of at least 1 Rush song per hour. I was never a big fan of the band to begin with and now can not bear to hear any of their numbers...
