Re: [microsound] Getting started

There are three or four cracks I keep handy and they are all fine...
never any problem.. they are as stable or unstable as the software on
the install disc with a legit serial number... why?!??! cause the
software is not mangled and I'll only use keygens so....

I know people can get superstitious about these things so I hear where
you are coming from. But I also know people that will keep running the
same old software that they bought legitmately until it will no longer
run or is buggy as hell cause it's so old to the point where they might
as well use crack... it'll be better than the old shit they got.

or I know companies that have legit software but are paranoid about
installing updates and migrating to knew version for fear of
interupting their workflow.. I'm reluctant to "buy" into this concept
that legit software is flawless simply because you paid for it.

Consider China, Microsoft is fuming because the entire freakin' country
uses pirated software yet their economy is booming... go figure.

If I took a hundred pieces of software and installed them on two
different computers with the same installer, one with legit serial
numbers and one with generated numbers I'd expect them to work the
same. 

I mean do you really expect windows will work better because it's not
cracked? ;-)

If an industry is life or death based on wether or not your software
works then personally I would get out of that business. ;-) The only
one that really comes to mind is being a soldier.

The main thing about Reaktor and MAX etc is that they have much smaller
user bases and are smaller companies. Does that make it easier to
rationlize spending more money on them? It also means that there are
fewer brainiac crackers out there to come up with keygens for these
programs.
