Yeah, just read it on a dutch site :N

I think the recordcompanies really think that the costumers who always boughttheir cpear cd's from CDWOW, will now gladly go back to buying the local legal cd's, which are way more expensive (!)

I just download my music, and news like this just makes me feel good about that. The sooner recordcompanies lose their power, the better.

Too bad about CDWOW. I often used them to order asian dvds, but I guess now I'll have to do that through dddhouse and yesasia...

This can't be true.

Lets start the war against the big music companies!

Oh man I really hope not. Surely not? They must make a mint even with their music troubles.

CD WOW have been easily the best music/film e-tailor for years. It would be a real shame to see them go. There's no way I'd go back to buying from shops, if they do go under I'll just go elsewhere (probably Play for CDs).

I have 4 orders open with them, one isn't to be released until next month.

I'd imagine if it is true that another company will by them (they have a well respect brand) BUT it could mean the end to vouchers and cheap CDs. They even manage to beat Play's CD prices.

p.s - I think I may e-mail them and ask. They've been honest with me in the past.

I thought this was common knowledge by now. They're looking for a buyer and operating as normal.

Yup its been in the news since late July

people are still getting their dvds, so dont worry to much, if anything more are shipping at the moment than the last 3 months combined.

But I would say don not order myself, as we really aint got a clue whats going on.

I hadn't heard this before.

A damn shame thanks to those BPI pricks.

I just hope everyone who bought legit from CD-Wow now downloads their music illegally.

Teach them a lesson.

I'm still waiting for 3 ordered on the 7th, one was released on Tuesday and 2 others should've been in stock but are not.
