In a new interview with Rolling Stone, guitarist Adam Jones and drummer Danny Carey explained that the trouble began in 2007 when an artist and friend of Jones sued the band for artwork he said he'd provided.

The band thought they were protected because they'd purchased insurance for this type of thing. Unfortunately, the agency from which they'd purchase the insurance sued them as well over technicalities. So, the band counter-sued.

If all goes as well for the band, the case will be put to rest when it hits court in January. "The whole thing is really depressing," confessed Carey to Rolling Stone.
