I'm not saying they didn't rip stuff. Everyone knows they, and other bands of the time plundered blues tunes... it was relatively standard.. but there is a difference between that and called them a band of thieves or a fraud. A lot more goes into a song than the riff in the video above and it appears they asked if they could use it.
And I'm not a rabid Led Zep fan or anything defending them lol. I think I had a greatest hits album given to me as a teenager.. which isn't saying much. Plus I AM a bit of a nut when it comes to bands stealing songs.. just in the 60s and 70s it was pretty standard practice to pinch blues riffs for rock songs. It's a little bit different to today where every little sample has to be declared.
