That was the first I found, so I digged a bit deeper.

 

This remains in history:

 

Encrypt your drives ?

 

i use two layers of bubble wrap.

 

DAW is off line, use a good firewall and be aware when any program whants to connect to the internet. Decide which can and which not.

 

if you stay unlegit at home its no problem , but never use warez in puplic in first world .

--
legal/illegal is a relative term in non first world...
on international waters you can use warez fo sho in puplic...but they will grind you anyway if there are first worlders from audio industry on the boat

and on the moon its legal as fck

would love to kno what AXIL would say he is from algeria.

Nobody gets in and fucks with my illegal plugin software unless my girlfriend/co-producer wants them to.

 

Gyro, you are hopeless
Sometimes talking without thinking can happen
Writing without thinking is impossible, you are the only one who can do it here

 

Hilarious. How old are you?

It was an obsolete vision coming from the 50’s (cold war)

• The First World consisted of the U.S., Western Europe and their allies
• The Second World was the so-called Communist Bloc: the Soviet Union, China, Cuba and friends
• The remaining nations, which aligned with neither group, were assigned to the Third World

This 1-2-3 classification is now out of date, insulting and confusing. Who is to say which part of the world is "first"? And how can a country like Saudi Arabia or Japan, neither Western nor communist, be part of the Third World? Plus, the Soviet Union doesn't even exist anymore

 

Four heavy armed guards on every corner of my PC!

 

Psssht, seriously? Where's your sense of adventure? I keep my pyrated plugins (*cough* ummm.... "allegedly" pyrated plugins,) guarded with a number of magical beings. I have found that no VPN, Firewall, etc., can compare to having your ill-acquired goods guarded by one of any number of creatures many and most people consider myth. Don't want Overloud, or PreSonus sneaking a peek at your unlawfully acquired plugins? Simply catch a Leprechaun (granted, easier said than done,) tell him that he now must guard your plugins, and stick the cantankerous lil' bastard between the plugins and their developer--the pure frenzied animosity of the mick blood coursing through the lil' guys veins will usually be enough to detour most parties.
And? What if you have plugins that have been borrowed without consent that are from some company that means business? Ya'know, serious MFs, the type who send out digital foot soldiers through the air and into into your WiFi in an attempt to suss out if you have any of their products? Well, ya' gotta up the proverbial ante. I would normally suggest an Imp, due to their manic nature, but they are a lot of upkeep, and you already have a frenzied Leprechaun, so no need to turn your humble abode into a complete madhouse, right? Right. So, the next logical step is to get a Fairy. Before you question the idea of using a small, winged female flitting about and sprinkling joy and well-wishes upon all, as is so often portrayed by popular culture, to guard your stolen goods, think on this for a moment. A Fairy is literally a small female who is perpetually ignored and overlooked due to her size, has an impossible time finding quality clothing that fits correctly--saying nothing of finding shoes in her size--and being expected to perform magic/miracles whenever asked, everything from turning pumpkins into carriages to basically babysitting a flying boy who's so lazy that he doesn't want to grow up. Now, imagine any woman you have ever been with having to deal with all of these problems on a consistent basis. No, Fairys are not nearly as pleasant as some would have you believe and will do a more than adequate job staving off even the most pesky of developers; "La Belle Dame sans Merci" indeed, Mr. Keats.
I could continue, but I think that you can see that acquiring some creature of supposed myth, is a much better option than any sort of digital safe-guard. True, there is a small amount of upkeep, but no more so than keeping any cat, dog, or giraffe as a pet.
So, maybe now you can see why, @No Avenger , your idea is very nearly the definition of boring. Live a little; replace your VPN with an ogre, troll, or any number of other nasty creatures (preferable ones that smell better than the afore mentioned two,) that will make a developer think twice before traipsing over to your neck of the woods and snooping through your plugins.
No need to thank me for the advice; I'm happy to present yet another logical solution to this problem.

 

I thought it was like so
- First worlders sometimes have to do #1 outside
- Second worlders sometimes do #2 outside
- Third worlders always do #1 and #2 outside

 

my god what shall i say teach some non native tongue sjw english...ok next time i say the over saturated world or so , you 2 guys are to funny . i kno more ppl from third world then you ever will , and they laugh at such western ppl like you .facts.

nice look up on wikipedia..
no there is no second world anymore you correct.
and guess what saudi arabia is ...its hhhuu fck i had nearly said it again...but im not allowed too...ok its part over the over saturated world ..

and i not even used first world ,for determing income or state budged , it was for picture global law net

and everyone with a brain knows that no world is better then the other or vice versa
when ever my house my boat my wallet ppl would disagree

so now go on thinking their is human software piracy law on the moon' and in togo or china etc
and all the lands who give a fck even they have some foggy laws for that
