==Financial troubles and bankruptcy=====Rykodisc===
In 2005, TVT defaulted on a $32 million loan with Prudential Securities. This loan was granted in 1999 and a portion of TVT's catalog was presented as collateral. Prudential placed these assets up for auction and when no suitable bid came in, they chose to retain the rights and licensed them to Rykodisc. ''Pretty Hate Machine'' and its singles, which had been unavailable for a few years, went back in print.
==The Orchard=Bankruptcy===In 2008, TVT Records filed for bankruptcy after losing a legal battle with Slip-n-Slide Records. On June 23, 2008, ''The Washington Post'' reported that "The Orchard, the digital music label, has bought out TVT Records after a New York bankruptcy court declared its bid the winner on Thursday." [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/23/AR2008062300123.html]This, however, had no effect on the Nine Inch Nails assets, as they had previously been transferred to Prudential.
===Bicycle Music Group===In April 2010, the rights to the TVT library of pre-1992 master recordings were acquired by Bicycle Music Groupfrom Prudential Securities. A remastered version of ''Pretty Hate Machine'' was released and digital versions of its singles were put back into print once again.
<blockquote>
The co-publishing rights to Trent Reznor’s Nine Inch Nails catalog include the songs from all album releases from Pretty Hate Machine through Year Zero. As well, in acquiring the master recording rights to NIN’s groundbreaking debut, Pretty Hate Machine, Bicycle will be responsible for re-releasing this album which has been out of print and unavailable through digital distribution outlets for several years. “It goes without saying how important these works are to the entire landscape of Alternative Rock. Our team sees incredible creative and business opportunities with this catalog and we look forward to working with our new partners and artists," said Steve Salm, Partner at Bicycle.
