Heh, of course Led Zeppelin heavily, uh, "appropriated" other blues and pop music without giving credit (unless sued). Not picking on the band, but it's funny to see them mentioned as not getting credit for something
As for the OP, John Lennon said the melody and chord changes in the Beatles "Because" was based on Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". He heard Yoko playing it on the piano, and morphed it and switched it around.
