...I really have to stop trying to respond to this thread when I'm drunk...

Hmmm, thats pretty deep. You've somehow drawn a parallel between the american revolution and software piracy. I have my issues with politics and the men behind them, but I could move somewhere else in the world, and I don't seem to. I choose to live hereI live comfortably, I earn my own way, and I'...

If you write a song, you have the RIGHT to copyright protection. If you develop a piece of software, it is your RIGHT to enjoy protections that come with intellectual property You're confused. Copyright isn't a RIGHT. It's a temporary monopoly, granted by the state for the purpose of promoting prog...

Fair enough, pretty sweet responses. I didn't look at it that way. cheers.

Do I break the law sometimes, sure. But I have respect for the system Isn't that contradictory? :wink: One can look at laws two ways, a means of functioning as a society, or a means of justifying anything. I've chatted with people about piracy, and I've heard them say "well, you've sped before, so ...

it just seems like a double standard when people enjoy the freedoms and liberties of a capitalist free society, Capitalism is an ECONOMIC system. It has nothing to do with freedom or liberties - in fact in many ways its their natural enemy in that it requires a servile/ignorant class to exploit in ...

I think its interesting when people get righteous and start condemning our country and our system. I'll say it again, it isn't perfect, but might I suggest another book, "The End of Poverty" By Jeffrey Sachs. Its quite an eye opener. If people feel compelled to sacrifice their integrity because they...

My reference to ayn rand may have been a bit over the top, but if you've read the book, my reference is to the lack of repsect people have other peoples' rights and ingenuity. I suppose its a can of worms to get into literary and philosophical references, it just seems like a double standard when pe...

I suggest people pick up a copy of "Altas Shrugged" and read it, then report back here.

cheers...

I think its obvoius here that life isn't perfect. If you follow politics at all, you know you can spin a story any way you want, and the same goes here. This is very simple. We live in a capitalist society. It is what it is, and I kinda like it personally, but it isn't perfect. If McDSP or Propeller...

Wow, what a surprise. I figured a post like the one I made to start this thread would be responded to with like opinions and contempt for the software thieves that make our roles as producers etc. more difficult as we have to deal with the repercussions, Not to mention it is hard as hell to stay com...

This may be a bit overblown, but I feel piracy is the reason the human race will ultimately fail. Think about, you give people a LITTLE power, and opportunity to make choices for themselves, and all everyone can do is be as greedy as possible as get whatever they can for free. They feel they can't g...

Just a shoutout to all of your software pirates out there, you know who you are. I'm currently trying to reformat my hard drive, and between iLok, challenge codes, online verification and registration, cd keys, and becoming "members" of every manufacturers website, you've really created a cool situa...

Does anyone know of any good books/websites on mono recording/mixing? I want to get into it but haven't mad much luck getting the wall of sound i'm trying for.

thanks!

what do you think of the akg bx20? they seem pretty rare. what about the rest of the akg reverb stuff?
