Korn was not the first artist in such a situation. Prince comes to mind, so much so that he couldn't even use his name while under contract with Warner Chapell.
Korn vs RIAA
Steal this video! KORN releases anti music biz video
My reading of the official Korn position was that, disputes aside, they(Korn&Sony) are victims of piracy under the old model. Korn wants to embrace the new model, but they are unsure how to prevent "the kids" from just stealing their work.
As for Sony vs Korn, I addressed that earlier as no different that any employer/employee contract dispute. I have a hard time feeling sorry for rich people arguing about how to cut the pie. I think it is a misread to suggest Korn advocated wholesale piracy of music.
