I agree. Sorry this was actually just a bad joke about how PC users claim that PC's are better just because there's tons of software that they actually never pay for. I'm not saying Mac users don't have their fare share of K's either but at least around 80% of mac users have to actually pay for their sequencers thanks to the USB dongle, which I am totally for because why should I or anyone else have to pay when others can use it for free, and its tiresum that we have to pay such high prices for software just to make up for loss of sales resulting from too many un-authorized copies floating around. Can you imagine if people walked into a Pro-Audio store and started stealing gear off the demo floor ! The fuzz would be there in no time, and for some reason we all think that with software it's different for some reason , why I don't know.

Any ways I agree also that demos should be better and last longer and there has to be some kind of regulations for upgrade fees.

I have a tons of hardware and I paid for it once , software should be the same unless you are doing some kind of cross-platform upgrade/degrade :roll:

Music isn't free ! it's created by people who work hard for what the wanna create. therefore artistic products should have a price, out of respect for its creators.
