Hey there my friends!
Just want to make public that I left Emanate project effective from August 13th. It was supposed to be the Emanate team to announce it, but they keep on pushing it further and further and I want to clarify it now, so that nobody is misinformed about the project team.
Since then I have been trying to make this an easy exit. I didn't want to make any harm to the project and didn't want to get involved in any public war with them, just wanted to leave the project and for them to leave me alone.
I asked so many times for them to remove me and DSound from official website and all media. One month has past since their first deadline to accomplish this simple task and there are still many references all over the places.
I inform you that I didn't take a single cent from that project. I promptly signed the documents to give the other 3 shareholders my 30% shares of the company and I got nothing in return for it. What they offered in return was so ridiculous that I preferred to give it away...
All I demanded to my exit was for them to pay for the work that developers have put in the project... And they didn't care to honour their responsibilities. Because of that, I demanded that they removed all mine and other developer's code from GitHub, because the code is our Intellectual Property, but they just put the repositories in GitHub private. They said that they would remove all our code, let's hope that they know what they're doing...
So today, one month after the first deadline, I issued a DMCA takedown to Emanate website, that maintains many photos, videos and mentions of me as CTO and many references of DSound as proof of concept, which they are not authorised to use since the day I left the project.
I designed the project from ground up, pointed the direction for it's strategy, but never felt that the team was supporting me. In fact I was almost leaving the project back in March, but decided to give the project another chance since it was so important for the music industry and because the team assured me they would change.
But now, looking back, seems to me that they only wanted to leverage on my experience and success with DSound, to provide them access to EOS VC's with my technical background on the project, and probably they succeeded. In fact it's not relevant anymore. I wish them the best luck because it is something I designed.
So, I want everyone to know that I am not implementing Emanate, that I no longer have responsibility for the projects outcome and neither for the destination of the funds that might be raised.
Lot's of Love to you all and I am sorry for this change of plans... But it is actually great for DSound, since I am pushing the next update to the moon now... Stay tuned! ;)
Cheers, PRC
