Led Zeppelin did not steal Stairway To Heaven riff, appeals court rules

I've heard the comparisons. Agree with decision, glad it's over.

Led Zeppelin have triumphed in a long-running copyright dispute after a US appeals court ruled they did not steal the opening riff in Stairway To Heaven.

The British rock legends were accused in 2014 of ripping off a song called Taurus by the US band Spirit.

I do agree that the chord progressions sound very similar, but the difference to my ears is that there are some differences in the riff as the player in the video demonstrates, but to the average listener, it could be mistakenly the same, or at least close enough to say it's the same.
