"5 Products discontinued"
Dear users. It is with deep, deep regret that I have to inform you that due to a certain conditions we have found no other solution than imediately discontinuing R.S.P. '73, Vintage Keyboard Collection, Keyboard Gold Bundle, Vintage Keyboard Collection - K2 and Keyboard Gold Bundle - K2. We have also removed all reviews, artist quotes (and artists) referring to these products. Furthermore we have found it necessary to remove our FORUM. We hope you have understanding for such a dramatic move, but as we are a tiny company we see no other options right now. If ever - we need your support, so we hope you will continuing buying other Scarbee products. regards Thomas Hansen Skarbye
Got this from the site. What on earth is going on? Sounds major bad news.

This is just a wild hypothesis, and I have absolutely no information - I am only guessing....but all of those products have one thing in common - the Rhodes. I'm guessing that the new owner of the Rhodes trademark is clamping down on use of the name. But just a guess...
This sucks. Thomas Scarbee is not only the king of vintage keyboard sampling, but seems to be a fine gentleman as well. This is a severe blow to his company, whatever the cause.

Hmm, yeah it could be your right Phil. I mean, the RSP Rhodes has been out for a long long time, so why is it being pulled now? Scarbee keyboards is my weapon of choice and it will be a great shame if he is not allowed to continue his great sample libraries.
