The New York Times reports on a rock-and-roll copyright lawsuit.

According to the Times article, folksinger Jake Holmes claims that his 1967 song "Dazed and Confused" was taken by supergroup Led Zeppelin, who recorded their iconic hit of the same title in 1968.

If you are dazed and confused by copyright law and what constitutes fair use, read the UMUC library's copyright primer, which explains the basic principles in clear, easy-to-understand terms. And a wealth of copyright knowledge is available at UMUC's renowned Center for Intellectual Property.
