A campaign has been launched to try to save the Sibelius UK office and hence Sibelius itself. Avid has announced the closure of the UK office, the home of Sibelius's main creative and technical talent. Details and a chance to join the fight are at:-

I empathize, but there is no correlation between the UK office closing and Sibelius itself going under. In fact the opposite could be argued - it looks like they are moving to the Ukraine and hence it's a cost cutting exercise that will surely help the survival of the company?
One can argue the rights and wrongs of that move, but it seems to be a fact of life these days that technically advanced jobs are now also moving eastwards.
And - even you (and us all) are party to this - we are all typing and working away on Apple computers (or PCs) manufactured in China. What call was there to save those manufacturing jobs in the UK and elsewhere?
The bottom line is that even you (and all of us) are not prepared to pay for the cost of technology and other goods made in the UK and other such western countries, and hence AVID / Sibelius surely have no choice on this.
Kevin.
