As for what Spirit accomplished, they did have a handful of charted singles and albums. Not as much success as Led Zeppelin, but they were a nationally known band (which is significant considering the competition). But you could research and answer your own questions if you tried just a little...
Yeah, I knew that article too. It doesn't mention much of what Spirit accomplished, and it doesn't justify superstars ripping off less-known musicians.

The finding was that Spirit couldn't prove that Zep copied its song, despite how similar they are, because it couldn't prove "access" or what another artist might hear or do if or when it heard another artist's work.I believe the finding was that Zep didn’t rip the Spirit.

The finding does not make it okay for superstars to rip off other artists' work. But it does make it easier for them to do it legally, since it sets a precedence.

But I can see how you'd arrive at that, since today it's PC to do whatever you want if you have the power and money to get law enforcers to see things your way...
