They
were taken to court on more than one occasion.
"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" and won an out-of-court settlement. Dixon himself did not benefit until he sued Arc Music to recover his royalties and copyrights. 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."
Did that all sink in okay? Willie Dixon accused the band of plagiarizing his music, and an out-of-court settlement was reached. From then on, all pressings of Led Zeppelin's second album credit Dixon, implying that the band admitted to plagiarizing Dixon's music.

I've listened to every one of those songs side by side and even synced them up together, nothing would even catch your ear if you didn't know what you were looking for.

They obviously didn't synch up well because Zeppelin rearranged the songs. That does not mean that they wrote them.
