Maybe because someone had the audacity of lifting off what Bricasti had invested years, sweat and blood into making, without their permission and on top, dub it with a phonetic resemblance and sell it commercially.
Such a statement coming from us may seem hypocritical given the fact the we, ourselves, offer libraries of hardware reverbs. However, we only release versions of hardware which is no longer in production and/or not being sold.
Initially, we asked Bricasti for permission to sample the M7. They did not grant it to us so we terminated the idea and abided by their decision. Then we read in a thread on this very forum that Casey condoned the idea of M7 IRs as long as they were free or of donation-ware character. Since we had already sampled all the M7 factory presets for test purposes, prior to the Bricasti declination, we thought that we'd share what we had made rather than having them sit around on the hard drive.
While we believe in convolution technology we also believe in ethics. Releasing a library prior to consensus from the vendor who is putting bread and butter on the table via his product is not something we are prepared to do ;-)
