Sony to Close NJ CD making Factory soon

http://news.cnet.com/8301-31001_3-20028837-261.html





This a bad sign
if this goes on
HMV Japan
will be the only supply in the future.


Of course many smal firms will make CD's
but for the Big Label CD's
HMV Japan may be the only place .
They are not part of HMV , a solo company now.



Meanwhile the UK's only CD/DVD/LP/12"
National store HMV UK are closing 60 of there stores.
And has brought in outsiders to go over there books
after a bad xmas sale.




Illegal Downloads are still going on to much.
