thatd be one thing if they were stealing from "hapless bluesmen" as u say, but they were stealing from other artists that were popular at the time as well as people they were touring with. listen to the beginning of "Taurus" by the band Spirit, a band they were opening for back in the day. this is just one example and not even an example from the album i mentioned.
but yeah i do agree with u that ALOT of the examples are debatable, but its clear in alot of instances too.
