As a vehicle to oversee posthumous releases such as these, as well as other business deals like licensing songs to films, Grohl and Novoselic proposed the formation of Nirvana, L.L.C., a limited liability corporation that gave the two musicians and Love (as representative of Cobain's estate) equal votes in controlling the future of the band. But Love claims that the deck was stacked against her from the beginning.
The L.L.C. was proposed by Los Angeles music business attorney Jill Berliner, who represented Grohl and Novoselic individually, and who also became the attorney for Nirvana, L.L.C. John Silva had been Nirvana's manager (though Cobain had come to "hate" him, according to the Cross book), and he went on to manage the post-Nirvana careers of both Grohl and Novoselic, as well as Nirvana, L.L.C.
Love says the interests of the attorney and the manager were to benefit Grohl and Novoselic, not the Cobain estate. "Collusion! Collusion! Collusion!" she rails.
Berliner defends the L.L.C. as a natural extension of the band's working relationship. "There was an existing general partnership, and the assets were transferred into an L.L.C. for tax reasons," she says. Love counters that the L.L.C. ignored the fact that Nirvana's single biggest asset was the catalog of Cobain's songs, and those were left off the table when the power structure of the L.L.C. was set as three equal partners.
Nevertheless, in late 1997 or early 1998--almost four years after her husband's death--Love signed the L.L.C. agreement. She now says that was a tremendous mistake.

Courtney Love is. She owns the rights to all of Nirvana's music and can do whatever she likes with it.

Whoever owns the rights to his share, as specified by either his will, if he had one, or the state law of his legal residence, if he didn't.
