- Led Zeppelin on Monday persuaded a U.S. appeals court to reinstate a jury verdict that it did not steal the opening guitar riff for “Stairway to Heaven” from an obscure song written four years earlier.
“The trial and appeal process has been a long climb up the ‘Stairway to Heaven,’” Circuit Judge Margaret McKeown wrote for the majority. Jurors awarded Gaye’s children $7.4 million, which was later reduced to $5.3 million. The singer Katy Perry is appealing a $2.8 million verdict reached last August in a separate copyright case over her song “Dark Horse.”
Jurors were not allowed to listen to “Taurus,” and Monday’s decision found this and other alleged errors did not require a new trial.
