Nothing Records became largely defunct in 2004 due to a lawsuit by Reznor against John Malm. The label became inactive as a whole following several further releases—the "Beside You in Time" (February 2007) home video was the label's final release.

Jill Magid
Jill Magid (born 1973) is an American conceptual artist and writer. In Magid's work, she forms intimate relationships with systems of power, including police, secret service, CCTV and forensics, subverting these through seduction and embedding herself within them. Countering the wide-angle, depersonalizing operations of such entities, Magid seeks – in her own words – "the potential softness and intimacy of their technologies, the fallacy of their omniscient point of view, the ways in which they hold memory (yet often cease to remember), their engrained position in society (the cause of their invisibility), their authority, their apparent intangibility and, with all of this, their potential reversibility."

Chetnik war crimes in World War II
During the Second World War, Chetniks committed numerous war crimes that were primarily directed towards Yugoslav Partisans, and the non-Serb population, in particular Bosniaks and Croats. Since their foundation in 1903, Chetniks were the instrument of nationalist and expansionist politics of Serbia and had acted as one of the means of dealing with Serbian political opponents within Kingdom of Yugoslavia with intention of preserving centralized Greater Serbian political system. The Chetniks' ideology is based on ideological and ethnic exclusivity. In the Chetniks' entire activity, the crimes do not represent isolated incidents but rather regularly organized practices accepted or approved by the leadership at all levels.
