Okay - I've been on the receiving end of a lot of crime this year - but I sure don't see myself as hard done by or a victim, I'm very fortunate in many ways.
It has however given me a total disrespect for people who help themselves to other people's hard-earned property - be it physical, intellectual property or whatever. This includes software thieves, they are pathetic. I mean what do they contribute towards this planet? If we all just stole from others, no-one would do anything constructive or original. They should wake up to themselves and starting contributing something positive to this place.
Yes as a registered user I get updates, but so too do the thieves it seems. I purchased, not because I couldn't easily get a cracked version if I wanted too (I could), but because I believe in a fair reward for effort, and the 'Heads deserve a fair reward. Unlike certain other music software manufacturers, they develop pretty much bug free, original software and don't make a whole bunch of false delivery date promises.
I don't see why you suggest I'd advocate violence towards those who buy bargain used goods that I'd paid top dollar for new. It can be a great way to buy and if you do well this way good for you. But you can't draw a parallel between this and anger towards thieves. I'm not that poor that I'm going to get upset about paying top dollars for something new. But helping yourself to other people's property does upset me. I'm far from being some moral crusader, but I can't help thinking that if people see nothing wrong with theft (of music software or whatever), they're losing perspective.
To Mr Underscore I have a few questions-
Firstly, are you too afraid to use your real email address? I guess I would be if I were a thief.
Secondly, why do you think I couldn't easily get hold of a cracked version if I wanted to ?
Thirdly what the heck would you know about my degree of prowess using computers anyway?
And finally why is someone who vents a little steam at people who deserve it an "idiot"?
