Keep those FAKE stories comming Waves guys, just one more and every studio owner that uses your pirated software will buy a legit copy
.
I just heard a story of a guy who had a dream about someone visiting his studio and asking if he had Waves plugins, witch he had but they where pirated... Next morning he woke up in a pool of sweat.
You'll never guess what happend... 7 months later he got a letter from a solicitor asking for $1.000.000.
After a few weeks in court the guy had to pay the fee because the dream was used as evidence
.
Moral of the story... Never use Waves plugs... they suck! And there are much better alternatives out there.
Sorry but this is getting out of hand
