Answer found: when production stopped.

The full proposed settlement terms have
been put up at:

Interesting reading. Sony basically walks.
But the answer to one particular question
often debated here came up: Did Sony cease
Mediamax production, and if so, when?

This is not meant to reinforce any particular
arguments of mine... it's certainly not news
that production has stopped. It's simply the
answer to a much-asked question hereabouts
that Sunncomm/Mediamax had not answered yet.

The data was included in text describing Sony's
hopes to limit the damage from the criminal
cases to what they've agreed to for the civil
cases.

"B.

The provisions expected to be covered in an
agreement to resolve the Government Inquiries,
and which will be deemed part of this Settlement
Agreement if no enforceable agreement resolving
the Government Inquiries is reached prior to the
Fairness Hearing, are as follows:

1.
SONY BMG will agree not to manufacture or
distribute audio CDs with XCP Software. (SONY BMG,
in fact, has not been manufacturing or distributing
audio CDs with XCP Software since November 2005.)

2.
SONY BMG will agree not to manufacture audio CDs
with MediaMax 3.0 or MediaMax 5.0. (SONY BMG, in
fact, has not been manufacturing audio CDs with
MediaMax 3.0 or MediaMax 5.0 since December 18,
2005.)
