[BC] Muzak

[Blake Bowers]

If they have actually filed, I would
strongly recommend you DON'T do
anything to their equipment.

After filing they fall under bankruptcy
protection, and shutting off their equipment,
doing anything to prohibit them from providing
service will get you into major trouble in civil
court, and possible criminal charges.

Consult an attorney.

Even now, with the anouncement they are going to file
you could be in deep trouble.
