    All these protections are just pointless because they always get cracked sooner or later, and they also annoy the customers. Not to mention that they can also make our software unstable. I'm so glad this got cracked. Bye iLok! :bleeeh: LOL

    Next will be the iCock69 - It will be shaped like an erect penis and feature the "Eggnog" feature. The Eggnog™ feature will be when it "shoots" a "white-noise signal" into your computer's USB port which will make your computer give birth to mini Adolf Hitlers and Joseph Stalins, who will grow up to either A: Throw you into the oven and make a nice italian pizza out of you, or B: Shoot you in the back of the head at point blank range. The iCock69 will have a stronger "Eggnog" feature every time you put more licenses on it. Eventually, your computer will become menopausal and thus your iCock69 will have no choice but to get up on two legs in the middle of the night while you're asleep and make a snuggy fitting sleeping bag out of your lower intestine. In this case it will run around and impregnate everything in your house that moves, including the men and dogs, cats, or domestic pets that are male. Your household will give birth to little Hitlers, Stalins, Gacy's, and Jeffrey Dahmers and therefore everyone becomes either a pizza, a strangle victim, have a 3rd eye in the back of their head, or a second mouth on their necks. The iCock69 will also feature a voice that will say Dick Cheney quotes and instead of being 3 inches long like the iLok2, it will be 5-6 inches long and 2 inches wide depending on how visually attractive the owner is. It loves cats and donkeys. Disclaimer: Be aware that if you have any Eeyore toys, donkeys, cats, blue-footed aquatic birds from the Galapagos Islands, meat grinders, holes anywhere, boxes, Justin Bieber CD's, X-rated magazines, or especially holes - you may end up with a new 60 minutes of cardio exercise every day, which will be looking for your iCock69. If you cannot find or refuse to find your iCock69, just roll down your pants and underpants and throw your wallet on the floor before bending over to pick it up. It will show up... Trust us. Please consult PACE customer service if it vibrates and sticks up in the air for more than 4 hours. The iCock69 will cost $420.89.

    Sounds exciting! :wink:
    I would avoid this fucking thing like the plague.

    The funny part is that the jerry dee guy cannot spell for crap, and the guys giving him crap just have bad grammar and punctuation skills at worst.

    Yeah, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to say that the end users view iLok 2 as a success, but merely that I suspect Pace and its clients (plugin developers) won't view iLok 2 as a total failure just because it was cracked, as it did provide three years of protection.

    But yeah, unquestionably from the end-user point of view … total piece of shit.

    I am not so sure about that. As a client are you willing to pay a certain fee for just 3 years of protection? :unsure:
    I like more developers who shares another point of view which is not protection related but based on quality. They know their stuff is going to be leaked somewhere sometimes so what they do, instead of losing their time in protection stuff, is creating the best stuff they can in order to force people buying what they do and to obtain many loyal customers as a result.

    This is not only "another" cracked dongle.
    It happens after iLok2 server blackout.
    After a lot of general complains from USERS (yes, you know...real ppl buying and using softwares ;) ).
    It happens when most plugins makers provide this infamous month rental scheme (you didn't paid this month ? you can't open your projects to gain money to pay it...).
    And more...

    To me, there are two sides : ying and yang.
    It can be positive on one side : killing stupid expansive protections (because devs pay for it big bucks...and you pay it at the end).
    It can be negative : killing some not-so-big devs like Soundtoys, their tech being absorbed by a concurrent company.

    Devs will not only loose money on products themselves, but on time lost to implement iLok2 too :dunno:

    I purchased Pro Tools and some plugins last year and within a week I'd lost the damn dongle. Got it replaced (pain in the ass) and the second one broke a couple days later - it just stopped working for no reason. At this point I had projects to work on so I went back to Logic and my AU plugins. I don't have time, and I can't risk my career on a flimsy POS. Fuck those guys! I've still got all my software, is there any word on a Mac crack? I will need to use ProTools for a new project soon and I'm SO dreading dealing with iLok again...

    That's right, it's a generalist sharing site. When they talk about how they cr@ck "steam whatever" for games I don't have a clue. I'd appreciate guidance if I get a game for the first time.
