I have had 1 person call about recording and want a Neumann. I don't have one. SO, I borrow one. I don't have to rush out and buy one.
It would be odd for Neumann to call me up and book a session saying they need a U87ai and then to check the serial number and sue me for not owning it

Not saying wrong or right, just a thought!
Borrowing the software and dongle would not be an offense I think. Cracked software is stolen and entirely illegal. It is the same as counterfeit currency.
