As for the other songs, yes I've heard about that many times before. This isn't anything new. They did borrow, but not steal. I agree that the old blues musicians should have been given better credit than they did back then. But that's exactly it, "back then." Things were done a lot differently back then. Led Zeppelin had nothing to hide. Nor did any of the other rock bands from that era that similary borrowed from old blues songs.
I don't blame the band at all, whomever was in charge of Led Zeppelin's management should be held responsible. Things have changed since then.

Riff ..Chord .. its all the same to me. I don't play music but i do listen to it. I'll admit that Zeppelin is a bit before my time and I know things were different then. I'm not disagreeing with you on that i just thought they took a bit more then most and only true fans may have heard about these claims in the past. as a guy that knows their songs and considers them to be Rock Legends i found it surprising just how much they did "barrow" from other unknown bands ..
