    You could give these hacks a billion dollars and all the free software on the planet and they still couldn't make an original song. :rofl:

    As usual, ppl who respect rules don't win the game in a world of cheaters.
    Some ppl speak about bad karma or "vibes" using warez when you can buy legit...but not.
    There is no karma.
    Only a lot of honest ppl in the mud and few a**holes in the light.

    Over 15 years of digital music, i've seen countless famous and rich ppl using warez.

    From studios (like this) :
    skyline

    to a LOT of individuals, like those ones :
    OhmForce
    http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=335223

    What is even more disgusting is those ppl will get some legit softwares free licenses for advertising, whereas they can pay them.
    But poor/not so rich ppl are paying the devs, not those rich ppls using warez/free licences.
    "This synth is marvelous. Buy it young bedroom producers ! (but i never bought it)"

    Even most devs are happy to get free (warez) advertising, and only react when ppl like me make them move their a** to defend their own "buy the product you use (not if you are rich and famous, of course)"

    Karma ? I call it Bullsh*t.
    :sad:

    Yeah I certainly don't think karma exists, I'm even puzzled when people look around at the world and speak of it. Karma is nothing but superstition, a way to bring some sense into a crazy world.

    Of course I noticed they come from Sweden, it's one of the main producers of DJ's in the world. Are you just noticing this? The political party is called The Pirate Party and yes Sweden has been a haven for piracy but that is slowly changing. Same with Germany but at least that country actually breeds talent too.

    This probably why he has loads money, from not buying software

    I had a feeling, I don't know exactly why but I'm good with reading people I guess. Germany rocks and all the Germans on AudioSex and Audioz are great people with an awesome sense of humor. *yes*

    We Germans are so rude, cold, mean and wierd because 90% of all internet users are idiots that make google give such recommendations because of their search behaviour! :rofl:

    Both cases are nothing but prejudice and misconception and that's why it's stupid to make general blanket statements about any group of people. When I typed why are human beings...I got stupid, cruel and evil in that order. Though I would love to agree we all know that not all humans are like that. I've lost count of all the wonderful people I have met on these forums and that's only a small part of the human beings out there. I always say I'm an equal opportunity hater because I hate people individually. :rofl:

    Google optimizes the search for you. Mostly you get the same results, but different states can get different results. For example when I search on YouTube, YT automaticly filters videos out that are "protected" by the GEMA.

    But first..Olson H. also used google.de (and he also is a german..as me)..and secondly I asked a college of mine to do that search on his Computer (Linux system with a different browser) and he gets the same recommendations as I got.

    Ahh, but all this is not so important...

    I just wanted to ask something topic related. Which version of Sylenth is Steve Aoki using. Is it v2.21? And as its for MAC I'm really irritated. Did Team Arcade ever released this? I cant remember and I 'm also not able to find it anywhere!! (AHHHHH, moderator this is not "asking for Warez"...I dont want to have this as I'm a PC..I'm just interested in knowing this)

    I was born in Germany, maybe I should considered myself offended? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

    BTW this all story makes me feel very bad because I invest all my little saving to buy the softwares that I like (do ut des, it should work like that). I would expect this especially from somebody who can actually buy them with his eyes closed since his bank account wouldn't even notice the difference. I am very naive, apparently. *yes*

    Somewhat on-topic, I was just watching this course, http://www.subbassdj.com/courses/online-music-production-courses/Ableton-Tecno-Glimpse and noticed Mr. Glimpse' Sylenth1 was licensed to TEAN ArCADE as well lol. Attached a screenshot from the vid below.

    Just saw it and thought I should post it. Turn the video in HD and look in the upper left corner, before he loads a project you can see this copy of FL is registered to Team AIR.
    That Bitch! He makes money by selling Beats, properly made with illegal copies of VSTs and Sample-Packs. He makes money by selling Drum Kits, most likely he gave a crap about sampling-policies. Im not sure but like many other Beatmakers he properly sells Soundsets for synths, too. And its very likely he didnt even put the effort in it to make his own presets, instead he used presets made by others and changed them a bit, for example turned an effect or modulation tool to off instead of actually setting all to zero (or default) so it would at least look like he made the presets himself (Edit: Just downloaded a copy of his Sylenth1 Soundbanks, didnt paid for it :bleh: And yes its exactly like I thought...)
    And now this bitch sells a FL Skin, and show a cracked Team AIR Version in his video? Man at least blur the bar where you see who's copy that is.

    Dont these guys think, do they just dont care or are they well aware of the fact they properly dont get caught?
