Can you prove they stole the riff?
it's a song called 'Taurus' by Spirit. it's pretty obvious. the band had opened for LZ at one point. Page liked what he heard and 'borrowed' it for Stairway. from what i've read the original guitar player didn't really give a crap. just happy that his music moved people.

if you don't hear the intro to Stairway at all about a minute into this clip from 6 years before LZ4 you really need to get your hearing checked.
