Software Piracy

[thorin]

if i use a cracked softsynth surely it is the same thing as using a sample without permission or buying it first??

[sinner]

Using a sample without permission is a civil matter between you and the copyright owner.

Using a cracked softsynth is software piracy, which is a criminal matter.

Both are bad, but in different ways.

Im not passing judgement, just pointing out the differences.
