I never said I didn't say it - it just doesn't weight on me much. Read my post - it's not hard. Why should I go and look it up when I don't really care about it that much?

Look, you didn't see it from my point of view. The fact that multiple big Led Zeppelin fans, admitted that Led Zeppelin ripped off other music, is enough evidence for me. If you know anything about fans of bands, then you'll know that they don't go around advertising how much their favourite band rips off other bands. And you'll also know that fanboys research their bands quite thoroughly.

I've been on many music forums for quite a while. And every time Jimmy Page comes up (usually in a greatest guitarist thread), his ripping off gets mentioned. And guess what, the Led Zep fans don't deny it.

And there is the lawsuit thing as well.

And what's more, it wasn't exactly rare for blues/rock bands to rip off others at the time. It's quite plausible that Jimmy Page did that.
