Akin to these (basically) law firms that buy up old patents and then try to find someone who has infringed on the forgotten patent and clog up the courts with their complaints. Like those disgusting debt collection firms that buy up old debt and try to trick people into paying debts that are legally uncollectable
ALSO akin to, I think it is CITIBANK, attempting to say they have copyrighted the word THANKS.
As I read elsewhere that string of chords was (obviously) not something SPIRIT came up with - an ordinary sequence in every way. Page should have taken his cues from Paul Simon and "steal" stuff from the 18th century or South African musicians. No chance of a suit there ...
Just wait for someone to patent urination and we have to pay a royalty every time ...
Our patent laws are becoming unhinged and it is no surprise copyrights will follow.
The irony is there is nothing terribly novel about rock music - the key to good rock music is making the old sound new again. If pure "creativity" was the goal we would be stuck listening to compositions even more boring and stupid than Stockhausen's.
It is the whole that matters, not the snippets. There is no comparison to the complexity of STAIRWAY in TAURUS. Not that I have any desire to listen to the bombastic thing.
Whenever I think of that song I think of the BUTTHOLE SURFER's HAIRWAY TO STEPHEN. Makes me laugh every time.
