The "pro's" can afford to use whatever software they want. You obviously can't, so why do you think you are entitled to it?mrT said:Cause everyone knows that freeware is awesome... That's why all the "pro's" use it.

mrT said:Let's put it this way. I worked for what I had and I'm not saying he didn't. But How can you dop 17G's on recording equiptment at the age of 16 and not be at the very least well off?
and where I live most jobs that even adults have start at minumum wage and don't go much higher than $15/hr for a High school diploma. Unless you go into construction or something similarly labor intensive.
If you can afford an internet connection, you can afford freewareC jOker said:Mental I agree with you on the fact that pirating is bad and i...got into trouble last time i talked about it on here...so we'll call it.."cuddling"

And do the math people...$10K a year is extremely resonable for someone who is his age.
Averaging $9/hr. and working 25 hours a week...you get about 900 a month. Or $8,100 during a 9 month school year. Add another $5,400 for the summer months....take out the taxes.....very doable. I think I made somewhere around that when I was in high school/college working at a movie theater for $7.45. Thanks to extra hours, holiday season, and a side job I did once a year that paid a grand.
If I had no expenses I'd be spending it all on audio gear then too. I don't see how that makes him a "rich" kid....it just makes him someone who works for what he has. He sounds like me, parents don't just give him money so he has to work if he wants to buy anything.
$9 an hour is pretty average for a suburb community. My 18 year old sister was making $12 an hour at a doctor's office. Waiters make that pretty easily at a decent restaurant.

bennychico11 said:well, then don't complain if someone steals one of your songs and calls it theirs...or uses it on a movie they're making without giving you credit or paying for it.
pirating ends up hurting more than just the people who record the songs or program the software. It comes back around to the consumers when companies end up charging more money for less, come out with iLok keys to piss even legit owners off, and don't turn enough profit on their software to create newer versions.
