some of the conclusion-jumping around here beggars, and nearly buggers, the mind.

oh, and for the obligatory hallelujah disclaimer: i buy all the software i use, including hardware dongle boxes like the powercore x8, etc., which is to say i've paid my indulgence and have a ticket to heaven. amen.
Quite possible, the scenario you outlined. However I don't think I jumped to any illogical conclusion. When someone yells that they're not going to pay for any F***ing plugins, one can reasonably infer that he is expressing resentment at purchasing software, and indeed refuses to. Without making any statement indicating why or how one can use software and not pay for it, as you did, with the prevalence of piracy one would conclude stealing. If I'm wrong I apologize. But you know, I hear hoofs and tend to think horses rather zebras.
