I fucking knew it!!! The Dictators were right all along. This is what they had to say about the music climate in the mid 70s (taken from the booklet in the CD version of their Bloodbrothers album):
"The Stones and The Who were still around but the best American music was being made and appreciated in small isolated pockets of the country. In our little world The MC5, The Stooges, The Flamin´Groovies ruled, but in the bigger picture, America´s teenage hearts and minds were being rotted by screechy English pussies wearing their mommy´s clothes and playing a parody of American blues (and often stealing the writing credit)."

You wanna hear some real plagiarism ?
00'00" - 00'52" : Tunisiano - Je Porte Plainte (2008)
00'53 - 01'54" : Nightwish - Everdream (2004)
And the funniest part is the title of the song : "Je porte plainte" : In english it means "I press charges"
Of course Tunisiano ended with a lawsuit against him...

Of course Tunisiano ended with a lawsuit against him...Also there is the aspect that after countless thousands of songs have been created it's pretty much impossible to create a new one without some coincidental similarities with one of the previous songs humanity has come up with in history. Leaving aside the time that has passed which should rightfully be enough to make any lawsuit a joke, any copying of a song has to be extremely blatant and extensive for anybody else to have a reasonable cause to file any suit over it in my opinion.

This does not bring glory to Finland.
Points for France.

They've (the remaining living original ex-members of Spirit; Jay Ferguson and Mark Andes) have been talking about this (bringing a lawsuit) for over 2 decades. I'm glad the Estates of Randy California, John Locke and Ed Cassidy are finally bringing the lawsuit. Let's see how it plays out. If the judge dismisses it, so be it. But it will be interesting to see.
You may call it water under the bridge. Not a big deal. Is it greed and jealousy? Or something else?
By the way, four things you've got to remember and consider:
1. Led Zeppelin was the backup band in concerts with Spirit in 1969. "Fresh Garbage" was a song they allowed Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham to play.
2. They were all good friends when alive. There would not have been a lawsuit. Like I said again, call it greed and/or professional jealousy...
3. John Bonham's mentor was Ed Cassidy because Cassidy didn't use his drumsticks to hit his drum kit. In some cases, he used his bare hands when playing.
4. And for that, Bonzo admired him.
By the way, it took the magistrate in the George Harrison vs. The Chiffons and Allen Klein lawsuit eighteen (18) years to come to a decision in the "My Sweet Lord"/"He's So Fine" case.

Let's talk about something else for a bit .... here's another Spirit song...
"Nature's Way" vs. Cheap Trick's "The Flame"
The same rhythm and beats in the opening notes ... One played with an acoustic guitar and bass drum (Spirit) vs. lead and rhythm guitars (Cheap Trick)

What a load of bullshit. Blues musicians have been "plagiarizing" each other long before Zeppelin came along. And after. Both Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton unabashedly "stole" from Albert King. Zeppelin considered themselves latter day Robert Johnsons. Rolling Stones = Howlin' Wolf. The list goes on.
As Johan said, it's a little fuckin' late at this point to be crying about it.

It's never to late to tie up our court system with frivolous bullshit...for gods sake man, a murderer might get his day in court.
