Whether it be Steven Spielberg borrowing from Alfred Hitchcock, Johnny Depp from Keith Richards in 'Pirates' or Led Zeppelin borrowing from Blind Willie, etc.

I now that back in the 60's and 70's lots of people borrowed and used pieces of songs without permission but on Led Zeppelin I there is just so many songs that were taken from others that it is crazy. I wish you could have heard the 45 min segment of Stern today to hear all they examples. were not just talking about a few notes. we are talking about full verses along with the notes. I'm not even a big fan but I always thought of them as legends and i just took at as a shock. Maybe they were just finding their sound and after that didn't have to borrow or steal but there first album had a lot of other peoples stuff on it. each one of the other artist they took from had some small folk following but never big hits. Zeppelin picked a few good songs and redid them way better then the first artist did. now compile all those good songs to one album and you have a hit band. The fact that everyone of those artist now get credit after being sued says a lot. they didn't even fight it.
