I've heard the song, and it was "sampled". Robert Plant has admitted in court testimony that he owned the album in his collection. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/plagiarism-lawsuit-jimmy-page-describes-869928 . I wasn't sure if this case would go to trial, because of the statute of limitations. If anything I think they should be rewarded $1,599,987 the same amount that Bright Tunes was awarded for the "My Sweet Lord" vs. "He's So Fine" lawsuit. I hope it's not the $7.2 million that Marvin Gaye was awarded from Pharrell and Robin Thicke sampling "Got to Give It Up" vs. "Blurred Lines".
