You guys still arguing about this nonsense? Why?
Companies with *effective* dongle copy protection and a product that people actually want are not going to remove it afaik so it's a waste of breath at the current time.
I never understood why people continue to use things that annoy them so much. Move on I say. Use Reaper and non-dongled plugs. If you think companies who use dongles don't give a crap about you then stop using their products and walk away.
I don't see the problem.
Stop .... using .... the .... dongled .... products. If ... you ... have ... any ... sell .... them .... and .... get .... on ... with ... your ... life.
I don't like really fat women. They annoy me so I don't date them. Easy.
Will someone please compile a list of the daw companies that don't dongle their daws?
Will someone please compile a list of plugin developers who don't dongle their plugins?
Will someone explain (I tried) that those who do dongle are in the minority and that all this drama over a minority of products on the pro audio market is just plain silly when there are so many other
choices?
