If you cover a song, so long as you give the original artist credit, it's not stealing, K? Simple as that.

But sampling is not covering a song, Zeppelin have songs that did just that, sampling, and yet idiots wont do their research and they'll call anything an uncredited cover. And even the covers they did are radically different from the originals, do a little research, Youtube is your friend.

Thats not the goddamn point, people use the whole plagiarism thing to try and discredit Zeppelins music completely, and if they're gonna do that why stop there?

Sure, some might argue that a writing credit should be required, but I don't see how taking at most one bar of music from another song and turning it into something that hardly resembles the original song at all could necessitate a writing credit.

Hmm.... Like Stairway to Heaven?

I haven't heard anything about any P-Funk artists complaining about NWA or whoever else, so I'm pretty sure it's fine.

Yeah and I haven't heard Randy California complain about Stairway either, in fact he even said he didn't consider Stairway to be a ripoff.
