Back in July, Alpha-Theta, owner of Pioneer DJ announced they would be acquiring Serato. This really dismayed Jack O'Donnell, owner of InMusic (parent company of Numark, Denon DJ, Rane, Alto Professional, Stanton, ION and more). In fact, the last I knew, he was suing to block the deal in New Zealand (Serato's home country). His concern is that Serato would lose its independence and no longer work with controller manufacturers that compete with Pioneer (e.g. his Rane, Denon and Numark brands). I have not seen any updates on this story in a while. Has anyone else?
