As someone hoping to build a service like this, I hope they can salvage this situation.
I've already reached out in a few places with an offer of help, and am going to fly out there to knock on their door Monday morning.
Ownership of physical media means something, and the rights the owners have must be protected.

- pontifier 7y agoI'm in Madison now. Nobody is actually in charge, but all the CDs are still at the storage facility for now. It's truly an impressive sight. The person answering the CDreturns2u email address has collected some money from customers and is paying 3 of the last employees to slowly ship media out. He's overloaded with requests and is attempting to answer each one in order, but has several hundred still in the queue. Even sending all requested media back can't solve the whole situation here though. There's just too many disks and not enough time. I met with one of the creditors and the landlord, and have a meeting scheduled with the other major creditor. Nobody wants to see the CDs thrown away, but the landlord wants to be paid. I've proposed a plan to move all the media to my facility where I could store it as long as needed and would handle all the returns. I'd also work to restore digital access for media still in storage. There is still hope. Maybe even the start of something better? I've been procrastinating on the launch of Crossies.com for far too long, but it looks like fate is forcing my hand.
