To whom it may concern.
I'm publicly stating that I knew nothing about the decision to cease EFTP on Friday night. I was alerted to the fact by a customer at 13:52 Saturday afternoon. I was not consulted in any way and the entire business and all rights had been previously promised to me. I'm shocked.
For the last three years I have represented EFTP to the best of my ability for Charlie. I have taken the full burden of piracy and have been proactive in dealing with it on Charlie’s behalf with full transparency.
I reserve all rights to the intellectual property that I own in documentation and some files formerly branded under the EFTP umbrella.
If you have any EFTP related issues, queries or concerns I am no longer in a position to assist; my association with EFTP ended the moment Charlie withdrew it (Friday 12 December 2014).
I'm currently researching the possibility of re-launching the ZOOM G3, G3X and G5 patches under a new brand; there certainly appears to be a gap in the lower market price point.
To be clear, Charlie Hall's position, comment and actions have no bearing on myself and do not reflect my position and have no association to me. I have no professional affiliation to him, EFTP or his future offerings though I do hold my own opinions on recent events. I do not agree with recent actions or decisions and see them as myopic, counterproductive and most certainly counterintuitive.
I would like to thank David Martin and the moderators of this site.
I would also like to thank EFTP customers for their support of the EFTP products up until Friday 12 December 2014.
I'm sure that I will be making further comment in the future.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Yours faithfully,
Ross Hall
