    He doesn't know that he could generate a license and set anything he want?

    Yeah, exactly. I always change the name (if possible) just in case, for reasons such as this. Not that my music will ever be close to popular, but just in case I post a screenshot somewhere.

    I don't get it. even if it's cracked you still have to play the arrangement and patch shit yourself so they can go for you for "theft/pirating" but if they want royalties of the song they can f*** themselves imo. Dude could have used any synth to play the melody or chords they should be grateful he is using that old ass synth anyways.

    Yes, but lots of copies are already taken and even more laughs are happening. They're supposed to review these things before publishing.
    To be honest, if I was the reviewer I'd never think the guy would be so dumb to do that

    Conversely, maybe someone should be paying for Sylenth. Gotten enough use out of by now, no? Kind of pushing the boundaries of "try before buy". That's a lot of "try" by now....

    Whenever possible, change the name from e.g. "TeamAIR" to "FirstNameLastName". Or "MyGreatProductionCompany". Next time then, Aron Volta. :yes:

    And while I think it's entirely possible that Mr. Volta is using cracked plug-ins (he wouldn't be the first), it's of course also possible that the images aren't his at all. So (theoretically) they could also be the cracked plug-ins from MusicTech.

    I would find that almost funnier... :hahaha:

    I recently dropped my Juno 106 and cracked the casing, but it still works so I will carrying on using it. Hopefully I can make some money from it, so I can get it fixed!

    Adobe commissioned the investigation of IP adress to track down the owner. And They discovered that this was done on the cracked version of the Microsoft Windows on the cracked laptop at the cracked desk in the cracked basement [​IMG]

    Same here, I buy all the stuff I use and love. But still use what I use because of it's simplicity and work around drm.

    Makes no god damn sense for me to pay for a product then have to be connected to the internet at all times slowing my system down while I try to make music because someone out there ripped their shit, but I have to be punished for it in the end? Fuck that.

    just think of all the sales that tax doesn't get paid because of all this horrible piracy.

    you can have a red beard or a black beard, but in the end you're a pirate.
    we can't keep turning a blind eye to these serial criminal activities.

    it looks a lot like he is using ableton live:
    did he get a crack for that?

    @naitguy
    "LOL Might be cheaper just to legally change his name to Team Air now."
    would that make him the owner of lennar?

    It's funny how these very drm restrictions are exactly what make legit customers go find out what's on the other side of the fence when they otherwise wouldn't have to in the first place.

    Most will just buy it just because they have to, then turn around to also rip it because DOGE'd version runs better than the legit drm version.

    Myself and others included don't even really make money off our music but still end up getting to the items on their "to buy" list anyways after sifting through products to find what we really need.

    Demoing it longer than that little peach fuzz they let us feel between white noise demo sessions with every restriction there is which defeats the purpose of trying their product before you buy it because you never really get to "see" the product, no more than looking at an online listing of a guitar will let you feel it in your hands.

    Things have to be used in mixes and compared side by side. Then some things get ditched when other things take their place because we decided to make a purchase. Everyone is always out to see if something suits them better.

    Sister sites weed out the stalks of grass next to tree trunks & are the deciding factor for us. Not that shitty demo restriction they call trial. Trial rhymes with "buy all" because that's what you do when you're a noob & you're still confused.

    But a cracked egg reveals the color of it's yolk. If you want shitty old yellow yolk, fine. But I want my yolk to be orange & yoked, man.

    best is when you know somebody since many many years from your favorite secret warez site, and the day he starts to make software himself he all of a sudden gets as conservative as one can be and wants immediately sue anyone who steals his stuff if only he could.
