This is extremely old news. Most everyone who listens to the Zepp is aware of the fact.
Are you trying to use this as evidence that Led Zeppelin suck or something? Because around that time many bands were basing songs off of or out right covering blues standards. Early Rolling Stones, early Yardbirds, and others had albums full of covers. The lack of Led Zeppelin's ability to credit the right musicians speaks more about their management and legal abilities rather than their artistic creativity and talent. I just don't see the big deal and the members have since appologized and have publically thanked the musicians that they took inspiration from.
