Z3TA is back in the AppStore

Might be best to change the title of the thread, which is now misleading.

Purchased it previously but can’t seem to redownload. Not available via iPad app store at least. IOS 11

You can still redownload the .ipa from the App Store in iMazing on desktop. (No use if you haven't previously purchased it, though.)

It is a 'thing' as you put it, it is Intellectual property, so yes in real terms is a tangible 'thing' (Asset) and is owned by whomever, originally RGC, then Cakewalk, and next will be who ever buys Cakewalk, I cant see them splitting up individual assets unless there is some real slight of hand shenanigans going on at Gibson.

They may. If the software business was still running they'd probably try to sell it as a going concern carved off from Gibson guitars. That's no longer possible, so all they can sell are the IP. They probably won't get a whole lot for them as the programmers are gone. Unless somebody wants the name (Cakewalk), the number of interested parties is probably pretty small. So if the original developer did

Actually they will almo. Typically they'd try to come out of bankruptcy process with a slimmed down profitable core business(s). In this case I would guess they will try to spin out the guitar business (and possibly sell it) with the Gibson name. For the other businesses they'll probably try to either sell them as separate businesses (e.g. the consumer electronics stuff), and failing that they will try to sell the assets. Given that Gibson shut the software business down, the only assets are IP. The administrator will be looking to sell those. And probably to sell them as a single package.

Gibson the guitar company will survive, even if it's as a division of another company. Everything else... who can say.

Well for starters they aren't bankrupt yet, secondly if (whoever handles it post filling) sells off Cakewalk IP it would be as a whole and the Cakewalk brand would be deemed a single asset, this is not a free for all, it is quick sale and return to recoup losses.
