The U.S. government is standing behind ledzeppelin
Under old law , sound recordings weren't conferred protection. Only musical compositions enjoyed the benefit of copyright protection. Also under the old law, authors obtained copyright by making deposits of their work with the U.S. Copyright Office.In the mid-1970s, Congress began recognizing sound recordings as copyrightable matter under federal law. And deposits are no longer a prerequisite for copyright protection although registration with the U.S.
On appeal, the 9th Circuit then decided that the sound recording should have been played plus held that the jury was improperly advised about unprotectable music elements and standards of originality.
So with that background comes a new amicus brief from the United States Government pushing the position that under the old law, only work deposited with the U.S. Copyright Office defines the scope of the copyright and that because "Taurus" is merely entitled to "thin" protection and because no reasonable juror could conclude Randy California's composition is virtually identical to "Stairway to Heaven," Led Zeppelin should win.
