Artist: Tool
Album: Ænima
Year: 1996

I made this video a couple years ago, but it was taken down from YouTube, and I was given a copyright strike over it. I have in no way taken credit for the band's work, nor is my video a viable threat to their revenue from it on any platform. Google has chosen to enforce intellectual property laws in a way that is frankly preditory and which certainly stifles and disincentivises creativity--i.e., the exact OPPOSITE thing that intellectual property theoretically exists to achieve.

I doubt very much if the members of Tool themselves would choose to repress my homage to what is probably their best song ever ... but because the handling of copyright is outsourced to soulless, parasitic corporations run by people who have never brought anything original into the world themselves but simply harvest a cut of the proceeds, people who make fan art or play covers (guilty on both counts myself) are well and truly f***ed ... at least on YouTube. Rumble seems thus far to be much more reasonable and accomodating toward independent creators, which is why I've taken another stab at uploading this over here.
