Blinkbox Music Ltd fell into administration last summer after a period of ownership by Guvera.
Around 100 staff were laid off at the UK company as a result, and have since sued Guvera in a £10m class action lawsuit.
Before Guvera acquired Blinkbox Music in January 2015 for around £4m, it was owned by UK supermarket giant Tesco.
Blinkbox Music Ltd. remains in administration, but is now being sold off piece by piece.
MBW was passed the below email on Friday – showing that Blinbox’s database has just been purchased off its administrators by UK discount retail giant JD Sports.
Before it went under, Blinkbox was understood to have amassed a user database of more than two million people.
When Guvera bought Blinkbox last year, Phil Quartararo, Chief Content Officer and President of Guvera USA, said:
“Looking broadly at where great technology is coming from, London is firmly the place to be.”
