"Well..then when people sell vinyl back to stores to be sold again is illegal?"
No because now you no longer have that media.

Integrity lies in the music I create, not what I use to create it.......
Also...some of these people purchase software then share it with others....yes there are people out there that do that....is it wrong to do that?
I mean...shit....that means that if you buy an album...you can't burn it for your friends...
This is one of those never ending debates but it has 2 bottom lines...
1. Is using pirated software wrong? Yes it is!
2. As long as it's availiable will people continue to use it? Yes they will!
Im not an advocate "for" or "against" using pirated software, at this point it's really useless to pick a side for a number of reasons mainly because if you use it, it's your business. You will either deal with the advantages of having it or you will deal with the disadvantages of having it. Until they figure out an effective way of making it "either / or", going back and forth over it is as pointless as staring at a wall.
What do you know ?
Huh?
You're ruining an argument that would've lasted for the next year...YOU RUINED IT.... Damn you!!!
Oh yeah...
I wanted to eat Indian food today because this lady in Pakistan had a kid named Thomas who happens to be named after Napoleon's dog that no one knew about. Crazy, huh?
It's just crazy because everyone here wants to get paid from selling there beats, and yet seem ok that developers who but in tons of money and work to make these products get screwed.
Bottom line if you make money with your music, buy your software.
No business is mutually beneficial transactions. No one is getting screwed
the economy really hurt them, There is an example of piracy absolutely causing someone to lose there job.
Seriously if you cant afford $500 for something that you love and claim you want to make a living at then you are full of crap period.How much did you spend in pizza last year?
What about the days when people got an extra job, or saved up to buy an MPC?
" I've never seen any company say "OK we've made our projected sales so now we'll give it away free". Why would they? That is foolish. For some reason we have in our heads that business and making money is the evil thing.
Do you know how much money they made afterwards? With that, you should also know that they spent a million to make (very conservatively speaking...) let's say 2 million in return. Which granted is the idea BUT once again, at what point do you say enough is enough. You dont...the more the merrier.I know of one company that spent over a million dollars designing a new speaker stand. ONE MILLION TO DESIGN A SPEAKER STAND!
I get that some people are just starting out, but the goal should be to buy the stuff ASAP! But the attitude of most people is just screw em!
I must say it sure is nice to be able to call waves when I need tech support!
