Right decision. Similar for 2 seconds and not nearly exactly alike.
Zeppelin has made more money, sold more albums and sparked more interest in the artists they borrowed from or credited inaccurately.
So what, for those reasons it doesn't make it right for ANY band to borrow without permission or be credited inaccurately.

Doesn't make it right, but it does kinda make it ok. I'd bet the people cashing the checks feel pretty good about it.
Zep has served their sentence and some of the people they've paid out to, both those that were credited and those those that came after them to get credit, were simply the first to copyright music and lyrics that were part of a long blues tradition. There are also several songs that continuously get mentioned that Zep never claimed as their own.
I just don't think there was some dark master plan to steal all this music and take over the world.
