I too be a pirating whore.
However, I sure as hell don't make any money off of anything I have, I never try to sell the shit and for that matter, I don't know how to work 99% of it. I am truly Metally Guitarded. I have tried most major audio appz over the last few years and it's been very educational but I didn't like most of the stuff for one reason or another. I'll say this though, if I wasn't a broke ass mu fukka, I'd buy Ableton Live, Addictive Drums and the Sonalksis bundle. Of all the stuff I've used, those are the few that worked well for what I want to do, the way I want them to do it. Realistically, I could find a few other programs, free or cheap, that would achieve the same but would require more work than fun to accomplish the same result. If I was going to make money off of my warez, I'd be buying them up promptly. Not out of guilt or shame but for the reasons you buy software, like support, updates, etc and a little more confidence that some important piece of code in the program wasn't altered in the cracking process only to cause the app to crash at that heinous moment of non-backed-up terror.
