Led Zeppelin to Rehear Stairway Copyright Appeal
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear Led Zeppelin's challenge over Stairway to Heaven in a September hearing. The case centers on claims the band copied Taurus by Spirit guitarist Randy Wolfe, with a 2016 jury finding no substantial similarity. Page and Plant testified at trial, while a 2016 panel ordered a new trial on jury instruction errors. The larger 11-judge panel will convene in San Francisco to review the appeal.
