.... I don't even know who I should root for. It seems like the choices are incompetent or ego-maniacal....

Here's what they said in a short summary:1) The Canadian courts acknowledged the company is 66% Thompson-So's Investment Group (New Solutions Ovenden), Lara Lavi (Very Juicy Entertainment) owns 34%2) Although Lavi lost majority ownership in Canadian courts, she is taking New Solutions Ovenden to court in New York claiming that:a) The corporate documents were never finalized (i.e. the distribution of ownership, which was upheld in Canadian court)b) New Solutions added toxic debts from their other bad investments onto Death Row lumping into one big debtc) She is the majority owner in Death Row Records3) New Solutions Ovenden states the company is in bankruptcy approximately $23 - $25 million and want to sell the company and all the masters/material to whoever wants to "step up to the table"4) There are missing masters and recordings which were lost, destroyed, or stolen by former artists5) There are legal complications hanging over the company such as a lawsuit pending with Dr. Dre, legal questions as to whether Death Row is binded to abide by an old agreement to release Dre's material (both production & vocals) or if that agreement was voided. There are questions with the Tupac material as to whether the material has to be signed off or co-released with the Afeni Shakur estate or if it was voided upon the original bankruptcyWhat this means:If the U.S. courts in Delaware and New York do not agree on the ruling in Canada, this could mean a long holdup in the court system.New Solutions plans on selling the label so there will ultimately be a new owner of Death Row unless Lavi wins a difficult series of court battlesThe courts will have to give a clear ruling on the rights of the company to release material by Dre, Tupac, and other former artists and whether or not they have to pay them and if the old agreements are valid (Suge Publishing was not required to pay the artists he owned publishing on who were no longer with the label) -- Until there is a clear ruling on this situation, this is a toxic investmentIt's already a proven bad investment as the company was purchased for $18 million and lost $5-$7 million currently

The first was a remastered version of Dre's The Chronic, while the second was a rarities collection from Snoop Dogg. Neither was a huge commercial success — Thompson-So says The Chronic sold 50,000 copies in 2009, while Snoop Dogg's album sold only 30,000.
