Slipknot, the band, have dismissed a lawsuit they filed against the owner of Slipknot.com, a website not affiliated with the band that they claimed had been selling bootleg merch. Lawyers for the group, aka Slipknot, Inc., said the group “voluntarily dismisses this action without prejudice” in paperwork, obtained by Rolling Stone, filed Wednesday. The band had accused the domain owner, who is anonymous, of “cybersquatting.” By dismissing “without prejudice,” the band could revive the suit in the future. The group had filed the suit “in rem,” meaning the action was against the domain name itself as opposed to whoever registered it in 2001. “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,” the band claimed.
