is one). That's legal and moral issue, and is not connected with the
process of using pre-existing material itself. I'm interested only in
observation of the process, not in judging it by one set of standards or
another. >>

well, there are <<better>> examples of those parallels than led zeppelin.
witness "louie louie".
it's just-just-...your parallel seems to suggest guilelessness on their part,
as if they were "common traditional musicians". and they werent.
my only problem w/this socio-cultural parallel is your choice of ledzep.,
contemporary music as a product in demand notwithstanding.

consider grabbing up some "nuggets"-type '60s rock and roll compilation lp's;
 i could tape you some i have, probably before your kids start high school.
^_~. what your parallel suggests thrives here.
