In 2000, the band discovered one of their demos had been leaked online. They discovered online file sharing and filed suit against Napster for copyright infringement.

Black Sabbath emerged from the working class factory town of Birmingham, England. Originally, they were another blues-rock act, but decided to distinguish themselves by dipping into the occult. Ozzy Osbourne figured people paid money for horror movies, so why not provide horror rock.
