mike watt sent a link to this Nirvana site. finally dave and kris filed a counter suit against love for her trying to control all the nirvana releases and subsequently blocking them from putting out a box set with unreleased material. maybe she's a scientologist too.
here's a snip and quote from kris -

" Finally, Nirvana's surviving members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl have started to fight Courtney Love's crusade to control Nirvana's legacy; "Rock star Courtney Love carved out a new identity for herself this year as an artist-rights activist, ranting about greedy corporations that she claimed cheat bands out of royalties and try to steal their music. But that crusader image suffered a blow Wednesday when the remaining members of the grunge band Nirvana sued Love, accusing the widow of bandmate Kurt Cobain of trying to seize control of the trio's recordings for her own financial gain.
'We'd have a lot easier time accepting this Joan of Arc music industry crusade if it wasn't coming from somebody trying so hard to hold the two of us down,' said Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, who with Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against Love in King County Superior Court in Seattle. The legal action is a response to a suit Love filed in May seeking to take charge of Nirvana's catalog and block the future release of any Nirvana recordings by Novoselic, Grohl or Vivendi Universal, the French music conglomerate she is battling to break her own recording contract. Love's suit puts the brakes on a greatest hits package originally scheduled to hit stores during the Christmas season. 'Dealing with Courtney is like getting stuck on a mean street where somebody is always trying to pull a cheap hustle on you. It's an indignity,' Novoselic said in an interview. 'We're just holding our noses through this whole thing.' "
