TVT acquired Wax Trax! Records in 1992, putting it at the forefront of the industrial music scene. It also created music publishing and distribution units.
After costly legal disputes involving Ja Rule (over contractual obligations) and Slip-N-Slide Records over the rights to early material by Pitbull, the label filed for bankruptcy in 2007. TVT's assets, excluding the music publishing unit (which Gottlieb still owns), were awarded to UK-based digital music distributor The Orchard by a New York bankruptcy judge in June 2008.
