It's not just about making money here. It's about what's right.
It's one thing to "allow" people to enjoy the fruits of your labor for free.
It's quite another when other people are doing it without your permission and making money off of it.
I'd much rather see someone steal my music (CD Copying) than find out that a record label put out my music and was selling it without my permission and without me getting my cut.
If Rupert Neve is just happy that people use his designs without financial gain, why doesn't he allow the clone companies to put his name on their units. That would make me proud. How 'bout you. |
Instead of looking at it as stealing, how about a Cover band playing one of your songs? It's your music, you worked hard to write it, but the cover band has also worked hard to learn there instrument and the song and get as much enjoyment out of it as you... they are also hired to play that music.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with making money, but there is no point being a capitalist **** about it either. (eg. Metallica + Napster).
If SCA, Vintech, Averill, etc, etc, etc weren't allowed to do it, do you think they would be doing it?
Why hasn't Mr. Neve stamped his foot at his name being used on countless competition websites?
No one pays my bills other than me...
