Isn’t this barred by time? I mean what happened, somebody just sobered up - don’t make me think how many decades later!

It could be due in part to a new release of their material. Maybe proceeds only from the upcoming releases would be included?

It’s been pretty well known that it was lifted for decades. Randy California would sometimes mock Page for stealing it. But depending on how you looked at it, he was either A) a Bohemian who didn’t give a crap about money; or B) an addict who couldn’t think clearly enough to figure out on how much money he was missing.

In either case, his heirs and the people handling his estate aren’t so forgiving of Page.

My guess is it has something to do with Ed Cassidy passing away about a year and a half ago. He was Randy California’s stepfather, and Spirit’s drummer. (He was in his mid forties when they were popular.) Randy California died in 1997.
