What is up with Windows Media?

in #windows8 years ago

Is Windows Media really going to shut down on June 30, 2016? My internet stream has been in the Windows Media directory for 15+ years and suddenly I receive an e-mail purportedly from them reading as follows:
Dear licensee,

Please know that a hard copy of the following notice was postal mailed to the license agreement contact on your License Agreement for WindowsMedia.com Internet Content Providers. We understand that your mailing address may have changed so we are providing an electronic copy of this notice for your convenience.
