Love devs' attitude towards piracy, TruePianos v1.9.8 (audio VSTi plugin)
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
This message showed when I entered the serial specifically made for pirates. Right now feeling nothing but respect for plugin devs. Next month Imma buy this plugin 100% fixed, need it or don't need it doesn't matter anymore lol.
It is also an honorable course of action. Developer gets paid for their work, you use quality service with convenience.
Although it's not very honorable for developers to intentially create a worse product for people who pay, just to try to prevent a small number of pirated copies to work (which likely won't actually prevent anything).
Usually that's not so much the developers but the publisher that the devs have to abide by.
I meant it more as the company. I'm fully aware the individuals don't have any say. It's still often an internal decision though, but made by the suits, not the people actually creating the thing.
