This may sound like a good thing to those of you who are into corporate conspiracy theory and you hate “big business.” Down with the corporations! But let me tell you first hand as a business owner it is very hard to run a profitable company. This eventually leads to only two things: higher prices for the rest of us, or companies going out of business. Couple that with software theft and you have even less money flowing through their doors.
In a landscape where people demand everything to be free or cheap, manufacturers are having to lower their product prices to stay competitive. Downloading Cracked Software Destroys Our Industryĭownloading pirated software destroys the audio industry in many ways. In a long term way, you are stealing a companies ability to invest in research and development, which means there’s no money to create new products. In a real tangible way you are stealing someone’s rent money, grocery money, and money to pay the electric bill.
No, you are stealing someone’s livelihood. What are you stealing? Not just software. they normally cost a price to purchase) then you are committing theft. Just because you can download something in the secret doesn’t diminish the crime. But to me, stealing is wrong, whether it’s a car, someone’s wallet, or a plugin. I make many selfish mistakes, just ask my wife. I’m not boasting about myself as if I’m some great person. To this day I have never downloaded or used a cracked or stolen plugin. This post might sound harsh, but it’s time to put on your big boy or big girl pants and start paying for what you use people. To all of you home and project studio owners out there using cracked plugins (aka stolen plugins), grow up and stop destroying your own industry! If you will permit me, I’d like to get on a soapbox for a moment and say something very important.
