| About these stories being false... They are not. I found this thread because I know the owner of a studio who has had the letter asking for £10,000 and I was curious to see if anyone else had been through the same thing.
To be honest, running a commercial studio facility with pirated software is just wrong.
Whether Waves can get the money or not is of course another matter.
Personally I also think it's wrong to steal anything, be it music, movies, software. I copied things when I was a student years ago, but I realise that was wrong and now that I make a living from music, it's only right to be use legit software.
I do think that Waves plugins are over-priced - but then we can always buy something else if we want. I also don't like the attitude of the company, but I still bought their plugins.
I also don't like the airline Ryanair here in the Uk, or it's owner, but sometimes I have to fly with them for practical reasons! |
