Why don't people torrent VSTs?
It's absolutely mindblowing to me that there are people out there who not only PAY for plugins but spend THOUSANDS of dollars on them.
>it's wrong!
It's 1s and 0s. The only thing you're hurting is some rich guy's stocks.
>ok but it's illegal!
Name one case where someone was arrested for reverb possession.
>well... i'd rather pay up than get viruses!
So do 5 minutes of research and find a reputable source?

Utter insanity.

Everyone does, then when you start making money on your music you buy them. That's what I and everyone I know did.

Plugin piracy is absolute niggerdom. There most likely is a freeware alternative to whatever you want to crack. If there isn't, you don't need it anyway.

at some point a programmer has to make a living, if you value the work that is being done then you should be paying for it so they can keep doing that work
