Empty Records Europe started officially in 2000 and continued the work of Empty Records after the end of the lawsuit. From Empty official website: "The court case initiated in 1996 against Blake Wright of the former MT office in Seattle ends in a settlement, resulting, finally, in Blake Wright being forced to give up not only the eMpTy logo, but any connection to MT. MT simply goes back to using the logo they began with in 1984. All of Blake Wright's unauthorized eMpTy titles are re-released by MT as "The Bootleg Series". MT Undertainment now begins releasing their punk titles on the new EMPTY RECORDS EUROPE".
