Watts too? Rough! Oh well, they weren't doing much for techno in past years anyway...still rough to see in the big picture. To be honest though, a lot of the distributors who are going belly up don't seem to be doing much to keep up with the trends and stay on top. For a distributor, this is important because it pays the bills. For a record label it's more important (imo) to be artistic because most of the money comes from gigs anyway.

Love the comments about the MP3/money thing. There is a ton of money to be made in the mp3 market. If certain mp3s aren't selling it either sucks or is just part of a small, niche market (or both).
