Stehsucker,
You say:
"Trust me, that is a major factor in a decision that could cost someone their job if they chose or reccomend MediaMax over the safer and more sure choice, MVSN.
IMO, your delight in piling on the agony is really running away with you here.
So far, what MVSN has to offer the record companies, was, has been and continues to be a total and dismal failure, whereas time after time SunnComm has come up with and delivered the goods -- in other words, satisfied the real needs of the recording companies and of customers. What MVSN has offered has been absolutely UNSAFE and UNSURE -- in one word, worthless.
Let's forget about rumors. What counts now is that SCMI has stated quite clearly that when a second major label signs on for a full partnership, the whole procedure for moving on to a proper market will swing into action.
As I continue to understand it, the company is keen to achieve this, if at all possible, this year. Considering the considerable complications and the extensive paperwork to be done, that means quite a tight schedule.
If PJ can be criticised, it is on the plane of excessive optimism about beating the opposition to the wire in terms of copy management technology, while simultaneously looking after the question of getting on to Amex before revenue streams were active. I believe that the paramount interest of the majors in getting valid copy management of CDs will now allow SCMI's business plan to be implemented quite quickly, and so place SunnComm in an extremely strong position.
BTW, it's "recommend".
Cheers,
