I can assure people that the story isn't fake waves crap - although I wouldn't put it past them.
I believe that Entrapment is not a defence in UK law - but I may be wrong.
Secret Filming on private property is in direct violation of European Comminsion of Human Rights - Article 8 - and therefore should be admissable in court.
The fact that the guy no longer runs it as a "recording" studio is most likely irrelivant.
Waves offer a 30 day trail of there software - this guy had it for about an hour.
How about this for a suggestion...
What if the guy offered to pay the cost of the licence but as he never made any money from it and no longer has a studio, he offers to pay the money to Charity instead of waves????
That could show Waves Audio ltd's true colours!!!
