When was the last time you darkened the door of Amoeba Music? Better get there soon before that door closes forever.

Before you panic, remember that these deals take years to finalize. A lot can change before the wrecking ball shows up. The owners of Amoeba Music have also published their own response to their customers’ fears. They state that nothing has been settled or even discussed. But the ideal situation would be one where Amoeba Music is included in any future development plans.
