Still sold on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

Besides, even though THQ is gone, Climax Brighton (later renamed Black Rock Studio) was a Disney Interactive Studios' subsidiary, so the game MAY be indefinitely protected. But that's just my guess, what do other members of the staff think about it?

THQ indeed disappeared from ESA-List so this List need to be updated. The game is still sold so we leave it at that.

Actually, one of the developers, Climax (Brighton) Ltd, aka Black Rock Studios, is owned by Disney and, according to Abandonia's ESA List, has unlimited protection. As such...

Regarding some PMs sent out by the OP:
Yes, it might theoretically make more sense to only focus on the publisher and leave the developer alone.
HOWEVER, what we don't know is whether or not the developer retained any rights associated with the game.
Disney didn't "touch" the developer, it has bought and then disbanded the studio, thus any rights and licenses held by the developer now reside with them.
