This is from a dutch tv show a couple of years back where they claim every song looks like stairway to heaven. (There are a few dutch groups/lyrics in it).

I must admit, the song always reminded me of Mary Poppins and Chim Chim Cher-ee....
"The jury rejected Page and Plant's argument that they would not have been familiar with Taurus, saying they had "access" to it.
However, they found evidence from musicologists more convincing. Experts who testified said the descending musical pattern shared by both songs had been a common musical device for centuries. One example cited was Chim Chim Cher-ee, from the 1964 Disney musical Mary Poppins."

I think it raises a very interesting issue about copyright. I find it amazing that you can put together a series of chords, post the riff on Youtube, and wait for a band to use it. There has to be limits to it.
