Led Zeppelin Menang Gugatan Hak Cipta Lagu Stairway to Heaven

04 - September - 2016
Grup music legendaris Led Zeppelin memenangi kasus gugatan hak cipta yang dilayangkan terhadap anggota grup band rock asal Inggris itu, setelah juri menolak klaim bahwa petikan gitar pembuka Stairway to Heaven diambil dari band asal AS, Spirit.
 
Keputusan juri, yang menemukan perbedaan substansial antara Stairway to Heaven dan lagu instrumental Spirit Taurus, diambil setelah melakukan sidang federal selama seminggu penuh di Los Angeles. Sidang memperdebatkan keaslian lagu Led Zeppelin tahun 1971 itu, salah satu lagu paling laris sepanjang sejarah musik rock.
 
Para pakar hukum mengatakan keputusan bulat yang dicapai pada hari kedua musyawarah juri itu bisa mempersempit dasar-dasar tuntutan pelanggaran hak cipta yang diajukan dalam industri musik di masa datang.
 
Juri menemukan bahwa penyanyi Led Zeppelin Robert Plant dan gitaris Jimmy Page memang mempunyai akses terhadap Taurus yang digubah pada 1967. Namun, potongan musik yang dituduhkan telah mereka curi pada hakekatnya tidak sama dengan kunci nada Stairway.
 
Page (72) dan Plant (67) yang bersaksi dan selalu hadir dalam sidang, menunjukkan sedikit reaksi atas keputusan pengadilan tersebut.
 
“Kami gembira atas kerja juri yang teliti dan senang keputusan ini mendukung kami, sehingga menghentikan segala pertanyaan mengenai asal Stairway to Heaven dan memastikan apa yang kami sudah ketahui selama 45 tahun,” kata Page dan Plant dalam pernyataan bersama.
 
Pemain bas dan keyboard Led Zeppelin, John Paul Jones, juga memberikan kesaksian dalam sidang itu. Awalnya ia juga dituntut bersama Page dan Plant, namun kemudian dicoret sebagai terdakwa.
 
Penggebuk drum John Bonham meninggal pada 1980, tahun yang sama band tersebut bubar.
 
Keputusan kasus Stairway itu dibuat hanya setahun setelah juri federal di Los Angeles menyatakan penyanyi Robin Thicke dan Pharrell Williams telah menjiplak lagu seniman Motown, Marvin Gaye, saat menciptakan lagu hit mereka Blurred Lines.

Copyright as an Intangible Movable Property: Understanding Tangible and Intangible Value

By: Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. In Intellectual Property law practice, one of the most common misconceptions is the view that possession of a physical object is identical to possession of all rights attached to that object. For example, purchasing a painting is often understood as a basis for reproducing that painting. Similarly, receiving the source code of a computer...

Copyright, Creator, and Ownership of Computer Programs in the Indonesian Legal Perspective

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. One of the fundamental issues that often leads to disputes in copyright law practice is the lack of clear understanding regarding the relationship between the party financing the creation of a work, the party creating the work, and the party entitled to economic benefits from it.

When Form Becomes Identity: Understanding 3D Brands and Industrial Design in Branding Strategy

  Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. The development of intellectual property law shows that the identity of a trademark is no longer limited to just a name, writing, or two-dimensional logo. In commercial practice, certain product shapes and packaging often have a stronger distinctive power than the brand name itself. Consumers in many situations can recognize the origin of...

Why is it difficult for the law to provide an absolute definition of a famous mark

  Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. The concept of a "well-known mark" is one of the most important concepts in trademark law, yet it is also one of the most difficult to define absolutely.

When Market Perceptions Change and Global Brand Giants Fall

  Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. Not a few major global brands were once considered too strong to be defeated. These names not only dominated the market but also shaped consumption culture, social status symbols, and even the identity of certain generations. However, business history shows that no matter how strong a brand's power, it can still decline when companies...

Brand as a Composition: Harmony of Sound, Color, Form, and Social Resonance in Architecture

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. When dissected more deeply, a brand is not merely a trade name or a visual symbol that functions to differentiate one product from another. In a much more complex dimension, the process of brand formation is actually very similar to the birth of a musical work. Just as a song is composed through the harmony of notes, rhythm, tempo, emotional...

Viral Brands Are No Accident: Branding Entry Strategies in Creating Market Explosions

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. Not a few people assume that a brand goes viral solely due to luck, social media momentum, or a fleeting trend.

Some brands are even intentionally shaped to become public talking points before their products are...

Dr. Ichwan Anggawirya, S.Sn., S.H., M.H. In contemporary branding practices, there is an interesting phenomenon where some companies build their brand identity through words that are linguistically considered non-standard, unusual, or appear as deviations from commonly known spellings.
