What's your take on the hold "Taurus" by Spirit VS "Stairway to Heaven" plagiarism suit?At first,I though for sure Page and Plant had indeed and very blatantly lifted the opening riff of their most famous tune from Taurus' marvelous "Taurus' instrumental.Then I heard a few pro songsmiths say that the basic structure for the two tunes' shared intro had been used many times for many different popular and even standard melodies and was a preogression considered more or less fare game for any writer's employ.Is this bit indeed public domain for any artist?
