I can't see the problem here ... If you're using cracked plugins (especially in a commercial facility)... be prepared to pay.
Its the same as illegal downloads, why do you think everyone in the business earns less ?
Why is the business in such a crisis?
If people want free entertainment, they can watch free entertainers, on you tube.
If you don't like a product or the price of a product ... don't get it.
When I put a record out, Its already on Russian download sites (for free) and there is nothing I can do ... except write to BPI which don't do anything.

So, If my livelyhood depends on record/download sales, I need this money to keep buying gear and paying people, If I get a 1/3 of my expected income due to illegal downloads, it means I'll spend a 1/3 of what I should on gear and employees.

Its like a snow ball and its getting worse, cracked software, illegal downloads...what's next?
