21+ Years of DDJ Indexed

Does he have the blessing of CMP (DDJ's current owner and copyright holder)?
CMP is generous about granting permission for using material from its
archives, but this is much larger than the usual request. I might be able to
get the contact info for the appropriate permissions person if anyone wants
to pursue it.

In related news, DDJ itself is going through a rough patch at the moment--ad
sales are 57% down from last year.
