Totally true.
And it's essential for the warez scene. Why: If no one (or at least enough ppl) would buy the stuff in the future there won't be a warez scene in lack of software/sound designers who are eager to bring up new software and/or libs.

Every single protection is crackable. It's just a matter of time and effort.

People crack software protections NOT because it's easy but because it's hard. And one time even Steinbergs dongle will be cracked. On that day every software title using the dongle is cracked in the same moment. All Venegance software would be set free in that moment.
That's why I think for a software developer it's a big mistake to trust in them in the long run.

 

I have a legit version of it and I already knew they do not understand the positive side of warez (the much increased advertising, chat, Youtube etc.) - But tbh who am I to know if warez pay out or rather do harm.
What I see is: There's some super protected software, uncracked.... and nobyody talks about.
For Avenger I wish a broader approach (too much attracting EDM folks) and a better looking UI. The left side of it is a real space wasting monster side.

 

that might be true, but dongle protection is not easy, team A.i.R cracked cubase 5.5 and how many man hours do you think it took, well many hours, its not viable for teams to try and crack dongle protected software, because once its cracked the devs change it, and so its back to square one, no one says it cant be done because it can, but it takes alot of time and teams cant be bothered,

 

it was with team A.i.R, and look what happened, the devs changed it and its not been cracked since 5.5,

 

reason not been cracked since version 5, still not cracked

 

actually Reason 5 but yeah, uncracked since then

 

i stand corrected

 

Yes, wasn't it Guda? Great cracker. And back then he wrote, it was a huge work he had to do to crack the eLic. And he died short time later. r.i.p.
But this is the proof that it can be done. What worked once ...
There are some young guys/gals out there who could do it, of that I'm sure.
And I hope they'll do it some day.

Did I mention that I hate eLic ?

mono is my little sister. She just cracked the avenger by mistake and wanted to play sims.
mono you bad girl, you go now immediately to your room! ;)

 

For real?

 

Real. Google it. And I heard that Spectrasonics is putting up an extra $500,000

 

This developer is just using the release on Audioz ax a pretext to justify charging for an update. He knows he is getting a lot of net talk for free and that is goid for business so he wants to capitalize. All that crap about 1.5 because someone leaked it. Remember that @The Pirate said on his Avenger repack that he was working on a 1.5? So now Manuel is using that as an excuse to charge for 2.0. I was going to buy it but instead will buy a Serum. I will not give my money to extorting Manuel. I just hope his customwr bas dissipates.

 

i cracked Avengers

 

...and i cracked my crack.

 

Your opinion is entirely independent of mine. So why did you attach your opinion to mine? It was so important your opinion about the plugin be aimed at me? Funny how it bothers some people in here.. like it's too much to handle the idea there's other people in the world who were not impressed with this Avenger plugin. Having tried and used many VSTi synth plugins like most of you.. this one is mediocre in my opinion, and will not be used by ME. It shouldn't be difficult to respect my opinion. I downloaded it, installed it, tried it, and deleted it because I didn't like it.

As I said earlier:

 

am I, I'M against it!

 

Some important news: Hey Avenger people people would buy more plugins if companies follow Lennar Digital's pay format as follows, I only have to pay 12 bucks a month for 14 months and I own the sylenth legit, plus on first payment I get to download it and use it fully as long as I pay my monthly charge until its paid off. I love this option to pay $299 outright hurts bigtime but to pay a small monthly fee and still own it is a great service to people who cannot afford a big upfront payment. Imagine if you did same and refx as well I would be able to own Avenger, Nexus2 and sylenth just paying 36 bucks a month until payoff!! Thats the future of getting less pirated software out there, make fair monthly payments and you would not have to do and waste money and time on research and development. Make PAYMENT monthly plans to own right away. Hats off to Lennar Digital!!!

 

Im ok with you or anyone else disliking it, that was my point, nothing personal.
