the guys that run that ship (no pun) seem to be cool, i have dealt with them for a while, I presume they would pay out anything owing, I would hope. |

of course. multiple label owners that received the email from them today!
google djdownload.com administration.. lots of hits with news posted all over.
here's the email
"Dear Label Partner
It is with great regret that we have to inform you that DJdownload Limited has been placed into administration by the Directors of the company effective today.
The Directors have worked extremely hard over the past few months to try and save the company: overheads were reduced and attempts to increase revenues were made but ongoing efforts to raise further finance were unsuccessful. Despite their best efforts the company was not able to continue to trade.
We would like to thank you for your support and business over the years and we wish you all the best in the future.
If you have any questions with regard to UNPAID ROYALTIES from DJDownload Limited please contact:
Marguerite Webster - Case Administrator at Bridge Business Recovery

Yours sincerely
Justin Pearse" |

Here is a reply I got from an e-mail I sent last night:
DJdownload.com will continue to operate for many years to come. The site has been bought by a new operator and we are looking forward to continuing to provide you with great tunes!
There should be some improvements to the site in the next few months and we'll be adding even more content as we look to expand our offering!
Regards

not sure if this can be quoted as fact, but it would be good news for those of you that use this service. |

Juno have bought the business. Juno and DJdownload will combine their strength and make the electronic music download market more competitive. Under the newly agreed arrangement, the administrators will still be called in, with the website continuing to trade via Juno's content and administrative guidance. The front-end experience, however, will remain the same, with Juno taking care of all back-end operations. Justin Pearse will continue as Head of Music at DJDownload.
"DJ Download is a pioneer in digital music and a key player in the dance music business", said Juno founder Richard Atherton. "We believe that with the combined strength of the Juno and DJdownload brands, we can make the download market more competitive and improve customer choice."

to be completely honest, i always thought dj download was quite and only used them to get around territory restrictions of certain tracks.
that being said, more distribution avenues are good, and it would have been sad to see one less. As someone who also buys vinyl, i have learned how expensive a lack of distribution can make things.:) |

receivership is not the same as bankruptcy.
It just means that all the creditors are ed, but the company will continue its operations, most likely under new owners though |
