Exactly. Thin Lizzy covered it, Metallica claimed they covered Thin Lizzys version, they did, but in the end, no royalties were paid. Of course now Metallicas version is protected and trying to cover it will cost you a few hundred thousand, and getting caught downloading it will get you sent to prison, and under new copyright laws enacted under gw, isn't it 200 years after the author dies the song goes into public domain? 200 years? Something like that.
