This zeppelin shit always pisses me off. Page (to my recollection) asked to borrow that spirit riff. As for the blues/folk music shit, I've always seen it credited on their albums. And let's not forgt that blues people ALWAYS borrow from older blues guys. Hell, just look at the people who restructured Robert Johnson shit.
Just found this from a paper called borrowing the blues:
Blues music traditionally has reflected an aesthetic based on borrowing, which has contributed to the dynamism and widespread reach of blues as a musical form. Borrowing is thus an important element in blues innovation and is evident in both the sources from which blues derives as genre as well as in the culture of borrowing that has frequently existed among blues musicians.
