LOS ANGELES — A LA jury has decided the band Led Zeppelin did not steal the opening to its classic anthem “Stairway to Heaven.”

The federal jury reached its verdict today, settling a point that music fans have debated for decades but didn’t find its way to court until two years ago.

Page, Plant and bassist John Paul Jones all testified in the case, providing anecdotes about the 1971 creation of “Stairway to Heaven.”

Experts who testified for the trust said the two songs bear striking similarities.
