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.
If you donate, dev doesn't have to pay taxes. If you buy, dev becomes more popular because one more sale.
Advice?
If you donate to the devs, of course they still have to pay taxes. That's still income.
Depends on where you are.
In the US, the Uncle Sam doesn’t care, he wants his cut. But not every country does that type of shakedown.
do both
Just because you give money to someone or something it doesn't make it a charitable organization that doesn't get taxed.
Why shouldnt the dev pay taxes?
If there's no return service you don't have to pay taxes in germany, afaik, ianal.
