TC just got bought....

This breaking news reminds me; anyone know why Jauqo got booted?

edit: I dug the guys' quirks, always found his cryptic breaking news interesting.

Asked and answered.

I know Jauqo (probably see him tonight), and he's a great guy, INCREDIBLE MONSTER player, very cool and laid back, but I think it was the whole "Trace Elliot has closed up" stuff from late last year on here that broke the camels' back. That's speculation (I've never asked him, that's his business and I've got too much respect for him and his abilities to go there with him), but it seems to be the case.

Sorry to see him go from here as well.

wasn't here for that stuff and had been wondering the same thing.
 
This might actually be a good thing for TC. Music Group has the power to actually enforce TC's MAP policy. Might suck for the end user to see the lawless days of TC online pricing go away, but it could very well save the company from total collapse.
