Might work.

I'll keep voting any story about 2600 up. Unfortunately it looks like the magazine & distribution companies legally were completely separate and they just kept similar names for branding. Other companies in their bankruptcy filing are owed millions to tens of millions.

Heck yes. 2600 is something I'd always considered subscribing to but never quite got around to given the wild swings in article quality. Digitally subscribing is a much easier sell for me, plus no more pieces of paper clogging up my apartment.

#8This is effectively a hit order that doesn't make 2600 liable in any way.
I should be outraged by this cunning strategy but I guess corporations exploiting legal loop holes to do dirty business irritates me more.

It's what 2600 is doing, why do you think the are linking them that much in an article talking bad about them?
Sadly the TEN brand doesn't exist for the average consumer, only their magazine names do. This is pretty common in the magazine business.

#10If a judge permitted bankruptcy, I don't imagine there's much hope of recovering anything. Shaming isn't a legal maneuver, and accountants have a thick skin.
