[The Fifth Horseman]

As a result of voting among members of the staff, effective immediately:

Partially discounted:
Amazon Marketplace is no longer counted as a valid source.

• Titles sold by Amazon itself are still counted as valid sales ("Fulfilled by Amazon" qualifies as such).
• Titles sold on Amazon Marketplace by confirmed direct representatives of the publisher are still counted as valid sales.

Play.com is no longer counted as a valid source, excluding as noted above.

• To avoid confusion: Items sold by Play.com itself have a visible "BUY" button and a statement "In Stock / Sold by Play.com" underneath the price

Completely discounted:
CDAccess is no longer counted as a valid source.
Purplus is no longer counted as a valid source.
Specialty Software is no longer counted as a valid source.

This means a lot of games will lose their "sold" status shortly, and a large number of formerly rejected requests might be approved.
