The members of legendary rock band Led Zeppelin have been found not guilty by a Los Angeles jury in the copyright lawsuit in which they have been recently involved, the Associated Press reports.

The court case was concerning the band’s alleged theft of the opening riff to their classic hit “Stairway to Heaven.” It was brought to the band by the estate of Randy Wolfe, of the group Spirit, who claimed Zep lifted the riff from their tune, “Taurus.”

Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, the principal songwriters and main defendants in the case, and their label, Warner Music Group, have released statements on the court’s decision. The duo writes that the verdict is “confirming what we have known for 45 years.” Read the two statements below.
