Listen And Look
Listen to this:
And look at this:

The Ha'iku Stairs, aptly nicknamed the Stairway to Heaven, is a steep climb on the island of Oahu that seems to disappear into the sky itself.
The trail got its start as a simple wooden ladder attached to the cliff. It was installed during World War II to facilitate the building of giant antenna cables between the cliffs above Ha'iku Valley. These, along with a building at the peak, could transmit signals that could reach submarines as far away as Tokyo Bay, reaching the submarines even when they were submerged underwater.
In the 1950s, the wooden stairs were replaced by metal steps and ramps—3,922 steps in all. The trail was officially closed in 1987, but many hikers continue to ignore the "No Trespassing" signs and make the climb for the awe-inspiring view at the top.

Led Zeppelin Plagiarism
Part I:
Part II:
Part III:
First off, the Youtube user who created these, clashboy1977, for some reason repeats a few songs from part 1 in parts 2 & 3. No biggy, I say, but why beat a dead horse?
Secondly, you cannot copyright a chord, nor a chord progression. A set of lyrics, however is a totally different animal. While most of these are truly obvious cases of musical plagiarism, there are a few (about 3-4) that I disagree with. Music, "riffs," and chord progressions can contain tiny subtle differences, and in all legality would be considered different.
The more pressing question is if they were going to blatantly steal material from so many past blues artists, why didn't they just credit them in the sleeve? Who knows. Lots of these issues were settled out of court, and surely Zeppelin paid dearly, but could've alleviated any wrongdoing by simply giving these original artists some much deserved credit!
