Hey Ive actually "downloaded" my fair share of "Free' software. But that was only shitty programs that you couldnt buy anymore. Or downloading a demo that I intend on purchasing. There is nothing wrong with downloading Software if its to check it out to see if it works with your system. But when its a GOOD program and is still relativly cheap I think you should buy it. If you dont have the money wait. Its like christmas waitnig for it.
Hell if I had just gone out and bought Battery for my drum samples based on people in here telling me it would work great with my PC Pro Tools Alesis DM-5 system I would have wasted alot of money on a program that just doesnt work on the PC with PT. Dumbasses. Thats why sometimes you gotta check a program out. Saved me alot of money which I can now spend on DR-008.

Exactly - I won' tbuy a program without trying the full version out ofirst, to make sure it doeso what I want.

And I would NEVER buy a CD without hearing most of it to know it's worth my money.

actually no, not really....but what does that have to do with someone who has the audacity to ask another person to copy their $150 sample library??

by the way, using crack software for evaluation purposes is a real bad idea....you never know what the decoder has really done to the program after its cracked....so if you try the crack and it doesnt work, it would simply reflect that its a poorly coded piece of crap.....

RSM, it's hard to believe your serious...especially if your an individual who is "running 2 businesses" like you say you are...you expect to be paid for your products and services, correct?? or do you "share" your products and services, receive no compensation, and live in a campground in a pup tent somewhere??

 

[Gidge]

what does not really mean....you either have or havent......

 

[MartyMcFly]

Yeah!!

 

[captainkey]

what does not really mean....you either have or havent......

I've copied cassettes from CD's that I had already purchased to play in my car before I had a CD player...as soon as I got a car with a CD player I trashed them....

I don't see how that is related to someone posting a thread on a forum and trying to leech off other people.....

 

[_ronin75_]

as soon as I got a car with a CD player I trashed them....

sure you did .....


posting a request like that on a forum like this ...
what did you expect hyperspace and rsm1000 ?

 

[captainkey]

sure you did .....

that was eight years ago, yes they are trashed.....

why are you trying to nail me to the cross?? Did I come on this board and try to panhandle my way into some free samples??

 

[keilson]

alright everybody calm down. this whole post is a waste of time

 

[badassmak]

I sure woulda hated to buy photosuite because I was doing the right thing in not filesharing and then realize it is an absolute waste of money ...

So I got a rip of it, and realized it was a fucking joke, and I would have wasted hundreds of dollars on it at the time, thus provoking me to fileshare anyways.

I don't advocate theft, which is why I advocate filesharing. Reason being, I don't like getting ripped off by software companies which produce generic BS.

DFH I would buy in a flash if I had the cash BTW.

In the meantime, I would at least prefer to become somewhat aquainted with the stuff, so I will seek out a rip...

...its like a bunch of people working for metallica in here or something...

1)you can get demo versions of most programs for free....I don't know about Photosuite, but I know you can for most software applications...I had a friend who couldnt find a demo of a particular plug in, contacted the manufacturer and they sent him a 30 day evaluation copy...

2)crack software suppliers like Radium and Oxygen have a hit or miss method for cracking code that enables them to authorize and then duplicate a program....there are so many limitations to a crack piece of software, plus, it can fry your computer....listen to the difference between a crack plug and a legit plug...no comparison....

everyone is aware of the some of the legendary R&B performers from the 50's and 60's that got pimped by sleazy individuals out of their share of royaties....some die penniless.....

if you have a massive CD collection of downloaded MP3's, how is what you are doing any different??

I'm all for limiting the greedy record companies from getting their mitts on profits resulting from an artists efforts....

if your music (and I don't mean to single anyone out) was up for retail sale and no one was buying it cause they could just download it for free, you'd be pissed

 

[badassmak]

oops had to type this twice...

Well the reason I have a wack of cd's made from downloaded mp3's is twofold. One, I didn't feel like forking out more dough to replace all the tapes I had already bought (actually it was more of a case of not having the dough as opposed to forking it out). And two, to replace some of the cds that are just plain wore out. I guess another reason is quite simply most bands out there nowadays seem to be one hit wonders, and their stuff is geared towards that more or less. So why should I shell out 20$ for a cd with one good song and 9 bad songs which fill my earholes full of loathing.

I honestly think the whole file sharing is a damn good thing, for one it actually promotes music, whereas before you had to always go to the record store to get a sample. This way people actually end up buying stuff they like, and stuff that is worth shelling out the bucks for. I'll never forget buying that L7 album, because of one song about 15 yrs ago, what a POS. I stopped buying stuff for awhile afterthat.

As far as people not buying cd's period and hurting the music industry, I don't see Metallica hurting, and arguably they are probably the hardest hit out there as far as file sharing is concerned, for obvious reasons.

I really think the vast majority of people who hear something they like (or for that matter find desirable proggies), will in the end buy it anyways, to avoid legal hassles down the road, and just because its the right thing to do. I do end up spending the money.

Another thing to consider is, (and I know how there are demos out there, but rarely does the demo come fully stocked, ie, you never get to put whatever it is thru all the paces) well maybe not another thing to consider, as I am reiterating myself here , hacked versions are basically free advertisement .

No I 'm no trying to nail you to the cross ..

Im just dragging your ass off of that high horse your on ...
and could you possibly give me an example of a crack that ever fried a pc ?

now THAT sounds like BS to me ..

 

[captainkey]

and could you possibly give me an example of a crack that ever fried a pc ?

I thought I said it "can" fry your computer.....

I've heard and seen examples of crack CD's getting stuck in CD drives, unable to uninstall, massive freeze-ups, constant error messages, etc.....then people take them off as soon as they can, as much as they can...so who knows what could have happened had they tried to keep running...

 

[_ronin75_]

Well then ....
they better put a legal disclaimer on bulk cd's as well
"Beware might explode in your face when trying to copy illegal SW ...", right next to the on't try to iron your clothes while still wearing them

that are just crappy cd's in high speed cdr players ...
(I've seen a retail copy of il2 sturmovikgetthing shattered to bits and pieces while installing)whether you put illegal sw in there , or other data on it ..
that doesnt matter at all ...

so much for that myth

 

[keilson]

well this is why we pay a blank "tape" tax. Right?

Now, I don't condone pirated software but........
This is a crock of shit. What the hell is hit or miss? All software can be cracked, period. There is also no difference between a cracked plug or a legit one. They don't mess with the DSP algorithms, they just insert a couple of well placed NOOP instructions to negate a jne or similar instruction and make the program skip the "Not registered" piece of code.

It can fry your computer!!!!!! Where the hell did you get that idea?

 

[captainkey]

It can fry your computer!!!!!! Where the hell did you get that idea?

Have you ever A-B'd a crack versus a legit plug??? you'd have to be deaf not to hear the difference.....

the process you mention whereby software is cracked is only a portion of what actually happens.....

No one I know of who does serious audio work would EVER be fool enough to run sessions with crack plugs...

I personally don't care whether someone runs cracks or not...its not a moral issue with me....but for me to argue with someone as to whether or not you run the risk of all kinds of headaches running cracks is a waste of time..

 

[_ronin75_]

RIGHT ..

THATs your government NOT giving all the honoust , and hardworking people the benefit of the doubt ...
o h we cant stop piracy well then lets just tax EVRYYONE also the ones who dont do it ....

well if you ask me THAT's fucked that's your basical self-fullfiling prophecy..

and captainkey

you obviously dont know what the fuck your talking about
so pleez leave it before you ridicule yourself even more

Im not a SW expert bu I know some assembly and I know some C and i KNOW its WAY easier to crack some code by NOT fucking around with the algorithms like HangDawg said!
