Instead, a federal lawsuit filed on Wednesday, October 15, claims that the domain (obtained by Domain Name Wire) has been owned since 2001 by an entity that is not affiliated with the band. The current registered domain owner is Slipknot Online Services, Ltd., which is located in Grand Cayman.

He continued in the complaint, "A fan of plaintiff or someone who otherwise wanted to purchase authorized Slipknot merchandise would undoubtedly visit the slipknot.com website assuming it belonged to plaintiff and then purchase the Slipknot merchandise linked to on the site, causing damages to plaintiff."
Not only does the band want control of the website, but they are also asking for unspecified damages through the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. The federal act was established in 1999 with the intent to protect trademark owners and prevent others from purchasing domains in "bad faith."
Slipknot, whose members famously perform in masks, is not currently on tour amid this legal battle. According to drummer Eloy Casagrande, per NME, a new album is on the way, but no release date has been announced yet.
