2003

2003 was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian Calendar (Dominical Letter E). It was the 3rd year of the 21st Century and the 3rd millennium and the 4th year of the 2000's Decade.

It is also the year known as the Langile Split in 2003, which was the intentional focus to made Langile Corporation to focus exclusively on media under Langile Mediaworks Corporation, owning all Langile media companies and ATBW Label Networks until September 17, 2019, when the ATBW Langile Split occurred. This was announced on December 14 of the preceding year as the original Langile Corporation, at the time 83 years old, was a very big company, owning various media and entertainment subsidiaries, as well as consumer goods and electronics subsidiaries, making the company one of the largest in the world. The split was planned to prevent monopoly issues and to allow the Langile family to have better control over their media industry and their consumer goods industry, though the latter (LCB) exited their ownership in 2008.

Meanwhile moving all consumer brands to Langile Consumer Branding, which remained intact until it dissolved on September 18, 2013, forming Langile Consumer Holdings and making non-consumer entities independent or for the case of air conditioner brands, into AEL Air Conditioners.

2003 is also heavily defined as the year of the start of the Deltahorse35V5 ransomware attack, which stole more than thousands of dollars from Merrill Studios, Signature Studios, etc., and the ransomware was eventually installed onto ATBW Blog work computers as well, causing several computers to be destroyed. 2003 was also the last year VHS films were released by ATBW Label Networks mainstream before being replaced by DVD, though the preceding Prodisc format was still used for Escade films until 2008.
