After the release of the album, the band was accused of copyright infringement regarding the concept of the song "Purity". Taylor was inspired by a story he had read about a girl named Purity Knight who was kidnapped and buried alive. Although Taylor insisted that he believed the story was non-fiction, the author claimed it was fictional and objected to its concept for use in the song. Slipknot were then forced to remove "Purity" and its short sample-filled prelude "Frail Limb Nursery" from the album. As a result, the band released slightly remastered standard and digipak versions of the album in December 1999, replacing both tracks with "Me Inside". The band however still play the song during live performances and it is included in the band's second DVD Disasterpieces (the studio version appears here as well) as well as the live album 9.0: Live.
"Can you imagine a girl being buried in a box and have all this lecherous bullshit drip down on her from this guy? It just hurts your head."
