    It's true what you say, and that in social networks happens all the time. And even more so if you think about sensitive issues such as politics, religion, sexuality, etc.

    But I didn't talk about that, but about making music in community.
    would it be possible? how would it be? all the time we will be anonymous? that's what i'm going for

    Let's say, you show me a song and I show you mine, ok. let's make a song together. well and a name of whom? anonymous? and how do we record it? and if we get benefits?
    Because if I have to interpret a guitar line, you don't need to know my name and I don't need to know yours, it's true. But if you want to do something bigger, I suppose yes. That was one of the points. And on the other hand...
    I see that here the downloads of programs and plugins in Argentina on many occasions you see them in public groups, with name and surname, in fact on Facebook it is full of this and even in "Mercado libre". So I wondered how serious this would be in other places. Oly, for example, explained what it was like in Europe or in Spain.
    But for example I have a friend in Macedonia that he has always downloaded without problems without vpn. But one day he went to Germany, and he told me that he couldn't download anything from there, only free stuff.

    Of course people want to stay anonymous on the sister site, that should be obvious why. Audiosex is better for sharing music, and people do on here.

    there are many opinions. if I express mine, am I automatically expressing the opposite? I say I prefer pizza knowing very well that there are those that despise it. am I giving support to pizza haters? am I an information terrorist?

    The response I referred to here was funny and not the least bit insulting. You kind of pushed it that way with the insults about reading. It is one of the silliest "serious" questions I've seen in awhile and you should not wonder why people responded the way they did. You said it your self that it is obvious. I just helped you out by explaining.

    It can be dangerous to expose yourself, protecting your own privacy on the web is essential and for dozens of good reasons. Rumors say on Audiosex there are celebrities undercover as well. Anyway, knowing the real identity of the users is not so crucial, much more interesting is knowing the thoughts and opinions of each and comparing them with our personal ones.
    At least, that's why I'm here

    Laws are stricter in various countries. Laws also change.. I'd suggest just being anonymous from the get go.

    Me, I don't think my gov't cares too much about this sort of thing but I keep anonymous in case they change their minds. Here, it is "gray market", at best. Not legal, but also not something they'll waste time enforcing in any way.

    The same thing happens here. It is not legal, but no one will come looking for you for downloading illegal programs. In fact, they are sold on legal platforms such as "Mercado libre".
    In fact I have entered several companies that you can see the sign that the windos is pirated xD.

    A year ago I tried to connect from the government Wifi to the Russian torrent that we all know. And I got a sign that it was "immoral" and it wouldn't let me connect, that is, it didn't appear as a crime, but something that was considered "immoral" by the government.

    As you can see, EZ 3 is legally sold here at 10/20 dollars per program. So I don't think the license is legitimate.
    and perhaps for this type of thing, here it is not so worrying

    I wouldn't say it's sold legally, just because the platform is operated by its owner legally.
    It's like illegal contents on social media, if it's not removed by the operators it does not mean it's legal.

    I can imagine in Argentina authorities are vague and messed up. There must be so much other trouble there to fear of.
    For over twenty years of economic crisis people may be forced to find the ways to survive, some of them ending up breaking/ignoring the law. it's sad.
    I guess you could find similar "possibilities" (platforms) of buying illegal contents without consequences in other 3rd-world-countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
    Big companies focus more on rich regions like Europe where the legal system is much more effective anyway.
    However, if you want to make a contract with a record label, even in Argentina, they must require you having your things proven legal, doesn't they?

    As someone from latam i can confirm the "reading" thing can be interpreted as sarcastic humor, not really an insult. I doubt this is more than just a mistranslation (Not that the translation is worng, just that it doesn't "sound" the same, if you know what i mean).

    Yup, i've some publiactions in MercadoLibre and sometimes the seller will ask to remotely access your computer to intall it. Talk about high stakes, huh? The thing is, the publications themselves are not the licenses, so technically they aren't selling you anything illegal, the illegal part happens outside of MercadLibre, so ML's hands are "clean".

    But yeah, different countries will have different regulations. Afaik here you won't be sanctioned for having cracked software but you will if you distribute it.

    I don't know if it's the same as in a social network where someone posts something. Because we are talking about a sale, I do not think that the "Mercado Libre" does not know what is being sold. I rather think he's looking the other way.

    Yes they are
    If it is a reality, and if it is sad, the need leads to these risks.
    I don't know, I don't know anyone directly who has signed a contract and asked how the deal has been.
    What I do know is that many have started with "pirate" programs, I've heard them say so in interviews.
    In fact, an artist began by buying a computer from the state that cannot be sold, that is, the state gives you a computer for you to study, but you cannot sell it, you cannot market it. Then someone sold that computer, and this "artist" bought it from him and began to make music, and today he is well known here in the country, and despite this the government had no problem saying that he had made music with a computer " hacked" XD

    Yes, it is complicated, I think. Because I may not know and trust that the product is legal, because I see it on a "legal" platform. So I buy it, I make music, and oh "I'm successful" and then I can say... But I bought in "Mercado libre", how was I going to know that such a well-known platform was going to sell me an illegal program. This speaking in theory, it is almost certain that no company will go for anyone who buys a program.
