They should just thank their lucky stars they beat the case and pay the lawyers fees. I listened to the song the allegedly didn't steal and its shockingly similar.

The lawyers did not earn 800,000 bucks. How much did the lawyers charge the claimant? Incredible.

Lawyers for the win again.

Agreed clamenza, they have gotten away with musical blue murder imo. Spirit could never have produced 'Stairway' of course, but the opening riff is a little more than inspiration, that's for sure.

The loser should always pay. But then a bunch of lawyers would be out of work and well, that just won't do.

There are both distinct similarities and distinct differences, but I don't think it's plagiarism.
