Once again I am not in favor of using pirated software but..... If you have actually done this, and I doubt it, you would have already convinced yourself that the cracked software was somehow inferior and thereby sounds worse. The only way to do this would be a controlled double-blind type test and again, I'm sure you did not. I'm not positive on this but I don't believe that the designer of a plugin would put license verification functions into the main DSP code. Being that they want to squeeze every ounce of performance out of said code. So putting a patch into the section that does do the checking would have no affect on the sound of the plugin or whatever.
