It might not have been discussed on here, but most people were on Livejournal in 2007 and I remember that we discussed it pretty heavily over there when it happened. Some people were freaking out that DEG was going to get their CD's pulled off the shelves in Japan etc. (Didn't happen.) But it pretty much just went away as fast as it was a thing.
I think the release of Decade wasn't related to this though. It came out only a few months later and would have already been in production at that time.
