Auran availability

This is mainly to the devs, as a question, but any other input is welcome.
It's been said that Sins would be released in Australia under Auran, right?

Well, I have here a December 18, 2007 article stating that Auran has closed down;

Could you please look into this? Or am I misinformed?

Thanks.
