Dongle Crack for SX 2

[boingoman]

*Sheesh*

I actually felt remorseful for awhile.......

 

[Hector_Osbert]

Hector, if all the demos sent in for the CD were "lame ass" that means they had to pick some "lame ass" material to put on their CD.

How about your precious drug money then?

Sheesh, recognising sarcasm is obviously not your strong point. Stick to your day job.
Anyway, I believe all music should be free at all times regardless. Art should always be free. If someone wants to make money off my back, bad karma to them.

 

[boingoman]

Idiot. Art is free. Producing art and distributing it takes time and resources, however. When you do get yourself in business, let us know. A studio that provides its services for free will actually be a big hit. You'll have a big client list, I'm sure.

 

[xstatic]

Stick to my day job? I do plenty with my day job day in and day out. I am running a pro aduio company and have succesfully owned a studio for about 8 years now. All of these things I have earned, and not stolen.

And how is it that recognizining sarcasm is not my strong point? First off, all it is is typing, so there is nothing to clue me in whther or not your statement is sarcasm. I might be able to tell, but based on the plethora of other idiotic statements you have made, that leads a person to believe that your statement was sincere and not actually sarcastic.

As far as music and art being free, thats completely your perogative and I respect that. However, you have NO right at ANY time to make those decisions for my music and for my art. By hopping on your high horse and pretending you are in it for the right reasons you are directly harming artists everywhere who are attempting to earn some sort of a living practicing their art. In reality you are just desperately trying to justify what you and everyone else already knows is wrong. How pathetic.

For all those who support software piracy, why not just skip to the end and make it easy. Instead of stealing software, why don't you just steal completed songs and call them yours. That would be even easier for all you lazy jackasses out there who are pretending that your lives are so rough and that you above all truly deserve free shit that we all have to earn.

Why does s/w theft have any link to my ability to compose? I thought we were past the whole pirating thing, I'm a lost cause. Let ME clue you in on my point. You guys thought I couldn't make music. I have shown otherwise. My case is therefore at rest. I know no one here could give a rats ass if I was dying of cancer, let alone if I had any talent. But at least you know that I do, whether you see it as a talent for creative compostion or as a talent for pissing people off. You're probably just jealous that my thread has shaken the very foundations of this board and that everyone here knows my name and not yours.
And to those future jaded reponses that this may incite saying 'harhar now the police will know your name'...well, good luck to any authority finding me let alone trying to bust me. I relish the excitement!!

Who ever associated your being a thief with your ability to compose? I don't care if you can pull diamonds out of your ass while whistlin' dixie....your a thief and that is what I don't like.

Jealous of you and your scary talent? Hardly. At the age of 17 I toured through 7 countries in Europe performing with an orchestra in the finest concert halls and festivals, the likes of which I doubt you have seen. At the age of 18, one of my orchestral compositions was performed at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. My piano album was ranked among the top 30 independant best sellers on Amazon.com for over a year after it came out. In '98 my band opened for Blink 192, the Deftones, Bad Religion and NO FX on the Van's warped tour. The same year we represented Oregon in the Ernie Ball International Battle of the Bands Semi Finals...like me to go on? Oh great, you got a track put on a compilation CD. I'm so very happy. If your morals matched your composing skills, then maybe we could really talk music someday. So sad that won't happen.

And you might want to decrease the drug money fund and come back to Earth...you didn't shake the foundation of this website. You didn't shake the foundation of shit. People like you come through here all the time....what , You actually stupid enough to think your the first thief to be dumb enough to post here?

Furthermore, when you go around insulting people like Blue Bear, who is one of the most knowledgable and informative members around here, who like me, makes his living in the music field, you are truely showing what an ass you really are. Cling to your little CD Hector, because I have been around enough to believe in "you reap what you sow".

 

[ColdAsh]

Gee im realy temped to do a poll on the topic "Is Hector Osbert a tool?"
I mean realy man, your not even trying to use logic anymore. Your theory seems to be along the lines of "i think your all a bunch of dickheads and I'm heaps better then you, therefore i must be right". And with a line such as "I'd rather set fire to my pc than blow all my drug money on stupid music making programs" i dont see how anyone could disagree with anything you had to say (insert sarcasm)
If the music making programs are stupid then why use them.

All i can say is good luck getting advise from anyone here on anything, but i suspect your only here to make trouble.
Boy I cant wait to hear your reply and the pathetic insults will be included in it (isnt this fun)

Get back to work!

Good job. I'm impressed and a little jealous too but we all now know Hector's a lost soul so there's no point to wasting our precious time on his horseshit. It looks like life is persecuting him enough and he thrives on it. Take pity on those that read this thread and find there's nothing more to it than people like Hector have no remorse.

This thread is like a virus that just keeps growing. I'm wondering, will it hit 500 posts before the price of oil hits $50 a barrell?

 

[Agent47]

This thread is great!

A very good read while bored at work.

Ok, my view is this: If you can't afford such an interest, don't take it up until you can. I mean, if I fancied collecting fine art, I'd wait until I'd built up enough wealth to start my hobby rather than raiding the National Gallery...

I think that makes sense...

I remember when I was doing my music degree 6 years ago - we used Performer and Pro Tools in the college studios. I didn't even OWN a computer to do my work on, let alone be able to get hold of pirated software...

Aye, days were hard lad, days were hard...

Uphilll both ways to sequencing class? Having to make your own microphones? And share your shoes with 8 roomates, and all of you slept in the same bed? If you even had a bed? Or a room?

I don't known if he is lost or just misguided. I actually think this thread is good. It's good for people to see that there are a lot of people out here who frown on stealing. It might not make them stop immediately. And yes, most of them will rationalize it in their own way so as to not have to face the fact that they are stealing. But deep down, they DO know it's wrong. By reading all of this, maybe someday their life will lead them down a path where they realize that honor does matter, character matters, that people who work hard deserve to be paid for what they do, and that stealing IS wrong and maybe they don't want their honor and character tarnished by being a thief. Who knows....but if all of this help even one person to think about it, then I think this is one of the most valuable threads to grace this site.

Regarding me and my musical life, in all the time I have been here, I have never felt compelled to say "Look at what I can do!" and I hesitated to even post about my history (and I could have gone on...). But I find it rediculous that Hector seems to think that the only people who post here are "wannabe's". This forum has members who run their own commercial studios, and members who are musicians with full albums under their discography who just happen to be into recording, and members who work in the music field in many different capacities who are here to share and absorb knowledge. He wanted to flop his proverbial "musical c*ck" on the table, I figured I would answer in kind. I normally don't do that, but hey, you get a shot of vodka in ya and your kinda ready for a battle

Boingoman -

Times were hard: The lecturer just stuck a printed out screenshot of Pro Tools on the busted computer monitor. We all knew, but didn't have the heart to tell him we'd noticed...

The 'microphone' was a jam jar painted silver with a red sticker on it saying 'nuemann'. You don't know the half of it. Sure as hell makes me appreciate what I've got now...

*awards medal*

Hector will now explain in simple English for you to understand. Hector knows he not Elvis/John/Kurt/Kenny. Hector just wanna say he know more than monkey with keyboard. Hector is banging head on brick wall here. But so are you. Hector also downloading RuleOfN9ne as he type this.

 

[vestast]

More like *darwin award*

Would you go to prorec.com and brag about how you stole software that everyone else is paying for ? No ? So why would you do it here ?

Everytime you come on here to post you just look like more of a kid each time. You got lots of growing up to do, child.

Where is Dragon ? Why hasn't this goof been banned yet ? What happened to the report to moderator button ?

 

[dafduc]

little red triangle, upper right hand corner.

There is free sequencing software for people who can't afford the big ticket items. Some of it is quality stuff. Crackz & warez users are f%^&ing thieves, period. No excuse, no justification.

RuleOfN9ne was a band from the east coast. I WAS in Rule Of Nine here in Oregon, but we havn't been together for over a year and a half. The band that I was in that had the most success was a different band named Unspun.

Enjoy the music, I think one of the songs is very appropriate for you

I'd offer you links to my piano album but I don't want to see a thread from you about "Piano Album sold for cheap!"

BTW....thanks for the medal, but why does it have someone else's name on it?

 

[TFranklin]

Use less expensive or freeware programs...

I couldn't afford hardware or software 20 years ago either. So I used what I had, it didn't stop me from becomming a musician. You should check out some of the crap that was used to start detroit techno in the early 90's.

Software won't give you talent but talent can flourish anywhere. If a company is selling software, it does not intend for it to be used without a purchased license. If you don't like the price, don't use it or just practice at school where the license is legal. Behind every faceless software company are people just like you that need a job so they can send there kids to college. Stealing is wrong, it's really that simple.

software piracy analysis

What a long thread. Just wanted to throw in a few things.

The comparison of software piracy and the ferrari brought something to mind that just doesn't make sense. How can the software be compared to the ferrari when the software was copied, yet the ferrari is original. If a store sold Cubase, then later it was cracked, the store profit isn't directly affected. And for the Ferrari to be compared, it would have to be cloned (copied just like the software) first before it can fairly be put into this equation. With all of that said, I think it's really a copyright infringment here then a theft issue. I believe in most cases, it's more like taking the Ferrari for a joyride. Also, I know it would probably be hard to get a statistic, but I bet that Cubase has made a lot of it's sales from others joyriding their software first. If the cracked version wasn't their, those sales may have never existed. The cracked version was free advertising for Cubase.

Another point to make. I have heard a few comments stating that the people that haven't purchased a legal copy of the software aren't serious musicians, etc. The software piracy in relation to musical talent is totally irrelevant. I believe that a lot of comments made here on this thread were coming more from anger then rationalism.

I'm going to stay unbiased on any opinions of the piracy issue. I just wanted to state the discrepancies in the comparisons made earlier.

Copyright infringement is theft. Doh!

Free advertising? You call that rational?

Your whole post is irrelevant. Umm sorry, think that was anger

Your bias is pretty clear, just maybe not to you and yeah, you've stated discrepancies alright, but they're all yours.

 

[vestast]

..... With all of that said, I think it's really a copyright infringment here then a theft issue. I believe in most cases, it's more like taking the Ferrari for a joyride. .....

Well I quoted these stats in another thread so I guess I better put em in here too.

I don't buy the argument "I wouldn't buy it anyway, so how do they loose money".

Bullshit !!

You buy guitars, amps, effect pedals, etc. Why wouldn't you buy recording software if you couldn't get a cracked copy ?

Every time you install a new piece of cracked software on your PC, think of these stats:

In the US alone in 2001, software piracy accounted for $1.8 billion in lost revenues, 111,000 in lost jobs, $5.6 billion in lost wages, and $1.5 billion in lost tax revenues.

Studies show that if in four years, the software piracy rate drops by 10 point, the economic growth could raise by $400 billion, creating 1.5 million jobs and generating $64 billion in taxes
