Appeal filed against Led Zeppelin plagiarism ruling
The plaintiffs have asked the court to reconsider their 'Stairway To Heaven' ruling
A notice of appeal has been filed regarding the much-discussed lawsuit against Led Zeppelin, alleging that 'Stairway To Heaven' was plagiarised.
Last month, the rock giants won their copyright infringement lawsuit, after a judge ruled that the case brought by a trustee of the late ex-Spirit guitarist Randy California had not demonstrated that Zep's iconic tune was lifted from Spirit's instrumental 'Taurus'.
Now, that trustee – Michael Skidmore – has filed notice of appeal of appeal: "Please take notice that Plaintiff Michael Skidmore, Trustee for the Randy Craig Wolfe Trust, hereby appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from the final judgment entered on June 23, 2016, as well as any and all interlocutory rulings, decisions, and orders that gave rise to the judgment and are merged therein".
