OFF: Willie Dixon Led Zeppelin lawsuit

[Stuart A Hamilton]

The BBC stuff that came out last year had the correct credits.  The legal cases
were still ongoing at the time of Remasters so I assume that these honest, law
abiding non-plagiarising Zeppelin bods were simply waiting to be legally forced
into admissions of guilt and restitution.  Of course, if they choose to rip off
Robert Johnson these days it's out of copyright, so no cash!
