Hi there,

I have kind of recognized something interesting. In that the software that have less copy protection and have the best cracks, seem to be the best software and the most successfull ones.

The ones that have best functioning Cracks, seem to be the ones leading the industry with the most consistent user experience. Most consistent user experience means that the program is actually an update, and does not strip features per each upgrade.

Why is it?

Is it because they have Quality code, and Warez Groups have helped spread the word to people who otherwise did not have the access to those programs in the first place, And that good will spread, if it really is good?

I think success goes hand in hand with Warez.. and Withouth Warez ( spreading their awesome code ) some of these successfull companies simply would not have as much happy customers, lol.

If there is quality..,as a matter of fact, it would not spread, were there no Warez, right? No one can create a full song with Save limited version... no one can create many full songs while learning a new software with a deadline of 30 day limit either.

Anyhow, thanks for everyone out there who have the integrity to provide quality software, and those who help them spread and be used for creating music

I do think warez could help to the extent that people wouldn't even otherwise try this stuff or be able to try it appropriately otherwise. I don't care who you are-- thirty days is not long enough to deicde that a DAW is for you (it is, however, long enough to decide one is NOT for you). The rest is all a matter of who's actually downloading the cracked software. Within our community it is strongly stressed that if you like/consistently use what you've downloaded or especially if you make money with it, buy it. I can't speak to the people who get it through torrents, etc.

As for your point of it contributing to the quality of a program-- I couldn't say for sure, and of course it depends on the developer. Ableton has a smart model. They have declared (multiple times) that they've accepted piracy as a part of the business and believe that serious musicians gravitate to their program anyway. Accordingly, they don't waste time and money on developing elaborate (or even new) protection schemes. They don't even bother to verify your legitimacy if you post on their support forum. They know that everyone benefits from more discussion about Ableton Live.

 

to the op

where are the proof of that ? i don´t like to see "i think so , i have heard , i hav seen somewhere"

 

In case of Sylenth1 there were lots of nonworking cracks out there from the early phase of their marketing. ( you can still find the ones that will mess your songs up ) So it is kind of a good example of what we are talking about here.

 

Well just think about it, you will come to the correct conclusion eventually shoud you do so. Compare the companies that run the show, with the ones that don t.

 

i don´t needs to think about , i like to see an 100 percent proof of your statement

 

I have a suspicion that some companies release cracks of their own software, or are actively complicit in the act, for the very purposes you cite.

 

@Zealious I 100% agree with you. That is what i allways said.

 

I don't think that cracked Software gives more success, maybe a greater exposure to the public.
Not everyone is an Insider or PRO, so the masses grab what they can get.....
Possibly little companies enjoy more requests or sales after their products get unlocked.
Bigger "sharks" aren't so much crack-friendly, they fear their Status-Quo, that's why they
add harder protection schemes, a thing that results to be user-unfriendly in many cases.
