So I just read this crazy story about Slipknot giving up on their lawsuit against that whole Slipknot.com domain thing 
. Like, you'd think they'd want to shut down all these fake merchandise sites right? But nope, they're choosing to let bygones be bygones, which is kinda weird considering how much money those bootleggers must've been making off their fans' backs 
.
It's actually pretty clever that the band is just going to drop it without prejudice, though - that means they can always pick up where they left off if needed
. And honestly, I'm a little impressed by their willingness to just move on from this whole situation - it shows they're not too bothered about it, which is good for them and their fans, who don't need all that drama 
.
Now, I know some people might be like "what's the big deal? it's just a website" but trust me, when you've got a brand as iconic as Slipknot, those sorts of sites can really hurt business
. So yeah, it's good to see them shaking off this annoyance and focusing on what matters - making music and rocking out

. It's always sick when bands get taken advantage of like that. But hey, at least they're willing to move on and not let the haters bring 'em down. The fact that they can still drop the lawsuit anytime they want is a good reminder that IP rights are real 
. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go listen to "Psychosocial" on repeat 
I mean, it makes sense, 24 years without issue? It's like they're saying 'screw it' and moving on 
. But at the same time, fans can still get scammed elsewhere 
so fingers crossed those bootlegs don't catch on again 
anyway, Slipknot's site is still live & kicking no new music or tour dates in sight though 
It's not like Slipknot fans would have been missing out on any super rare merch or anything. I bet they were just using it as an excuse to make a big deal and get more attention. And honestly, 24 years without incident? That sounds like a pretty solid reason for the domain owner to keep doing what they're doing...
