Aloha,

Well, I prefer to keep my business and any disputes private, but I'll gladly give a quick explanation here. Remember, there are 2 sides to every story. It is true that Taboo island has fallen behind in paying royalties to Dave Cohen. There is absolutely no intention to stiff or not pay him, and he has been told this numerous times. Taboo Island has had a very rough past year, financially. Among numerous other things, earlier this year, a customer stiffed us on a project for about $7000. I am a one man show here, and that nearly put Taboo Island under for good. Its been a constant struggle to stay afloat and rather difficult to come back from that kind of loss, but I am doing that as we speak.

All royalties owed to Dave Cohen are being and will be paid off. I do not cheat anyone.

The above post and the similar one on facebook were Dave's attempts to make good on threats and demands that he gave me, while I tried to remain calm and civil in our dispute. I'm sorry it had come to this, and I wish Dave Cohen the best of luck in the future, but Taboo island will no longer be working with him.

If anyone has any questions or concerns, feel free to message me, but I don't think there's a need to clog TC with this kind of stuff, and as I said, these types of things should be dealt with privately.

Mahalo,
