New
York
(ANI):
'Led
Zeppelin
guitarist
has
been
sued
for
alleged
plagiarism
by
a
folk
singer,
who
is
said
to
be
the
original
writer
of
the
track
'Dazed
and
Confused'.
According
to
TMZ
reports,
folk
singer
Jake
Holmes
has
sued
guitarist
Jimmy
Page
for
allegedly
stealing
the
hit
song
from
him,
41
years
after
the
fact.
Holmes
claims
to
obtain
a
copyright
for
his
song
'Dazed
and
Confused" in
1967,
two
years
before
'Led
Zeppelin"
recorded
their
version
of
the
track,
reports
The
New
York
Post.
Both
the
songs
are
not
musically
identical
but
sound
very
similar.
Primarily
blues
artists
or
their
record
labels
have
sued
before
the
band
over
claims
of
plagiarism.
However,
if
Holmes" federal
lawsuit
is
successful,
he
can
only
sue
Page
for
damages
from
the
past
three
years,
due
to
the
statue
of
limitations.
