You're just about old enough to have covered those gigs aren't you Brian 
:-) Or was the pony-tail a bit avant garde even for the 60s?
Perhaps you'll have to submit your BoxBrownie as evidence?

Anyway Led Zeppelin are heading for a fall and with over $550million
in revenue to date, it's going to cost 'em big time.

If you think the case is ridiculous and doesn't have a hope of getting 
up just look to the precedence of Men at Work "The land down under"

/men-at-works-colin-hay-says-down-under-lawsuit-contributed-to-death-of-
his-dad-and-bandmate/news-story/db47d17797386c960b7a7737974ea1ce

I doubt many who didn't attend primary school in Oz know "kookaburra 
sits in the old gum tree" but the similarity with the flute-break is 
uncanny. Well, the judge thought so.

Is all of this happening because people/companies/trusts are just 
feeding a few bars at a time into Google and seeing what it guesses?

I'm happy that all plagiarizing bastards get their comeuppance! The 
corridors
of W3C and IETF are so stacked with left-wing ideologues and sycophants
prostrating themselves before the scribes and pharisees that original 
thought
simply has to be sourced elsewhere :-( How many of them have actually 
cut-code
for a living? Having said that this particular gripe is with Google and 
the authors of SPDY.

Anyway I'd like to thank Arne for all his help in developing the killer
architecture for the Web that sadly came after its time. I owe you a cut 
of everything I made from it.

Feel free to collect your beer anytime :-)

Cheers Richard Maher

PS. Good defense: "If anyone can remember who was at those gigs,
the line-up, or what was played, then they simply weren't there".

PPS. Did no one pause to look at my code and be dumbstruck by its
sheer beauty long enough to stroke my ego?
