hi everyone,

this comes as a surprise and as a shock, too, to me. i was contacted by
jetgroove last spring, and their plan and operations seemed legitimate to
me. i've signed an official contract with them to sell and distribute our
releases (abflug) online. interestingly, our releases are not yet shown
online on the beta test site (or whatever they call it now), but will be
added to the library in the next couple of days, they say.

i think it's really, really shitty that they've listed releases that they
have not officially licensed on the website, regardless of whether people
can actually buy them now or not. those of you who've had trouble
contacting them to ask them what the f**k's going on, if you want to
contact me privately i can give you the e-mail addresses and names of the
people that i've been dealing with. i've got a reply from jetgroove quite
quickly every time i've talked with them.
