| - | The credits for [[Led Zeppelin]]'s ''[[Led Zeppelin II]]'' were the subject of some debate after the album's release. The prelude to "[[Bring It On Home]]" is a cover of [[Sonny Boy Williamson II|Sonny Boy Williamson]]'s "Bring It On Home" and drew comparisons with [[Willie Dixon]]'s "Bring It On Back". "[[Whole Lotta Love]]" shared some lyrics with Dixon's "You Need Love/Woman You Need Love", though the riff from the song was an original Jimmy Page composition. In the 1970s, Arc Music, the publishing arm of [[Chess Records]], brought a lawsuit against Led Zeppelin for [[copyright infringement]] over "Bring It On Home"; the case was settled out of court. Dixon himself did not benefit until he sued Arc Music to recover his [[royalties]] and [[copyright]]s. Sixteen years later, Dixon filed suit against Led Zeppelin over "Whole Lotta Love" and an [[out-of-court settlement]] was reached. Later pressings of ''Led Zeppelin II'' credit Dixon. Similarly, the "Lemon Song", from the same album, included an adaptation of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor". The band and Chester Burnett reached an [[out-of-court settlement]] to give co-credit to the author of the original song. | + | '''Royalties''' (sometimes, '''running royalties''') are usage-based payments made by one party (the "licensee") to another (the "licensor") for ongoing use of an asset, sometimes an [[intellectual property]] (IP) right. |
