The court case is finally done. The Supreme Court has declined to review the case: > **[Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven copyright battle is finally over](https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-54423922)** > > The US Supreme Court refuses to hear an appeal, meaning the long-running copyright case is over. ---
