Update on Tool lawsuit

2014-12-06 by NordicMindset | 87 Comments
The lawsuit that has delayed Tool's upcoming fifth album is set for trial on January 12, 2015.

Stated by band members as the main reason why they have been unable to complete new material since 2006, Clarendon National Insurance Co. have sued Tool seeking reimbursement and equitable indemnity after defending them in a suit filed by graphic designer Cameron de Leon, which was settled in 2007.

Californian judge Deidre Hill denied Clarendon's attempt at summary adjudication in a ruling on Wednesday, citing factual disputes as a reason for his decision. Siding with Tool, Hill stated that the band did not violate Clarendon's policies on defamation and copyright claims, and that the insurance company also used evidence from 2010 in order to defend their position made in 2007.

Keenan and Carey offered conflicting reports on whether or not their next album would surface in 2013,[87]
though Carey later conceded that "early 2014" seemed more likely.[88]

So a graphic designer and friend of the band wanted some credit for his work, Tool got legal insurance, then their insurance company counter-sued them?

...Why didn't they just credit the artist from the start?

Seriously, could a stupid trial stop them from releasing new music if they wanted to ? Where's the connection ? They don't give a shit and we shouldn't as 10.000 days was delightfully average and disappointing.

Ridiculous how the majority of people in here blame tool. It ain't their fault that they're not able to release new music.
They're getting riddled with internal legal shit. Makes it pretty hard to be creative.

Album slayed, will get a ridiculous amount of unwarranted hate from Sputnik because it's still
trendy to hate this band for some fucking reason. They haven't worn makeup since their sophomore
album, move the fuck on already and go back to jerking it to the thought of Tool eventually
releasing a new album. Best album from BVB since Set the World on Fire.

I hope to hear a new Tool album someday but I'm not losing any sleep over it. Tool doesn't owe me shit.
