        I assume that's supposed to be parsed like "MetaBrainz operates the MusicBrainz (and a number of related open data) projects", but it's really awkward

        I spent quite a bit of time untangling the saga of zvooq and attempting to try to make sense out of a very soap-opera-drama-esque business. I have attempted at fairly deep intelligence on the matter and am hoping this gives us a positive direction at recovering the funds they owe us, which would help us immensely.

        Is all this further understanding going to be documented somewhere? I wouldn't mind getting some further learning myself!
