    "lure misguided people over into the light..."
    wow, that language (not only on that post).
    what a way to address future customers.
    u-he is becoming more and more of an inside-group vs. outside-group mentality cult. :sad:

    If you're going to post it, post it in its entirety:
    http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=448055&start=135#p6280618

    "Is there going to be a TyrellN6 update too?
    Not sure at this point. After the recent wave of cracks we need to concentrate on preserving jobs. I.e. there will not be any work on freebees because we simply can't afford that luxury. Instead we need to do major feature updates for our best selling plug-ins in order to lure misguided people over into the light."

    [...]

    "Well, the cracks were "internal" for a year or so. The guys shot in their own foot by making them public, because we've already reversed them and we have a plethora of antidotes. It was actually an attack that I knew could happen one day, just the absence of a public crack left me too lazy to implement the checks."

    [...]

    So, as far as the current ones are concerned... Probably. Updates... No.

    Misguided, huh? The fucktard needs to get his head out of his ass and see how other countries are doing. Not everyone in the world can afford his crap.

    But seriously, with an attitude like this, he isn't winning any points among "potential customers". And yeah, I've thought about getting his plugins.

    Does this imply he has an insider?

    In the context of the topic subject, I posted to show the update releases here the other week might be time bomb free, so why post the extra stuff you did, which wasn't even part of Urs statement in the first place?
    Do you have a point?

    I take it to mean if the cracks were still secret (internal) u-he wouldn't have been able to fix them.

    you don't need an insider, with all the drama that has unfolded here and elsewhere around his protection.
    he just needs some time to read through.
    also, afaik, he/his company have member accounts here and probably everywhere his stuff is discussed...

    Sorry, I just got irritated that there was no source mentioned and I had to go looking for it (although I figured it would be from his KVR forum) and the post came out kinda aggressive in its entirety.

    The rest isn't directly related but it was informative, so I added it.

    Fair enough. I undo my rating of your post.

    But I guess the reaction does prove, to an extent, that these plugs may not bomb.
    Get them while they're hot, I s'pose.

    Yeah, probably. I need to get my head out of my ass too, I guess.

    Probably very true! And the guy who said: "The guys shot in their own foot..." is doing exactly the same thing on himself.
    Because when you talk too much about your "secrets or goodies" you often will attract *burglars* coming to your house...
    Ever noticed that Mr.U-he is the only developer talking openly about cracks on public forums?
    I personally believe he's exaggerating too much with wanting to have total control.
    I wonder how long it will take until developers themselves go *Internal ONLY*...

    When the timebomb hit in October, I was actually thinking about getting Zebra and Diva, although I barely make do with all this crisis stuff... But then I went to KVR and read the threads there. Needless to say, my desire to support them went down... And fast.

    Well, lots of companies just work on the features and pricing, like Cockos. I've bought a few licenses from them and referred my friends to Reaper quite a few times.

    Someone should learn from those guys.

    And when he took it up his with the latest release, he's suddenly "TOO LAZY"... Well, take it up yours for your laziness. :)))

    well its only with bazille that its ever happened to me,so i guess its fortunate the rest of my uhe releases werent/arent affected......im still somewhat unsure re the clock issue simply coz statistically half the people i speak to say go for it and the other half go the opposite way,so hard to judge who exactly is correct ya know!!

    @jynx the clock thing, i do daily almost to test things and its nothing wrong with, you maybe get problems with webpages using certificates, but thats all, once i forgot to reset my clock back, so i was one week on 2099 and didnt notice it.

    every uhe plugin has its own time checking for a valid license, also CRC check if the file is altered seems to be different for all plugins.
    maybe i am only a lite user, i mean i run for example Satin only for a short time, because its there at the end of a project to add some crisp to the scapes.

    If you can't make good music with free plug-ins, Diva is not gonna help you.
    To make it clear, Diva sounds great, no questions about it. But the difference in sound "quality" can't compensate the lack of ideas and never will. We are spoiled with the vast amount of (cracked) choices but you can't process all informations so you end up with the preset browsing routine.
