using cracks is using stolen goods.
If you are trying to argue to me (through the words of The Answer) that you are making social/economic/cultural statement by using cracked software...
Sorry, I can't finish that argument. It's so absurd. I didn't realize that using computers to make music is a right to all individuals, regardless of their religion, nationality, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Glad to know it is on the same level as having a roof over your head and food on your plate.
I've said my peace, now you can have the last word.

That's one piece of software you can't accuse me of thieving. I've got the FREE version.
Let's just agree to disagree.p

Using cracked software is NOT theft.
Using cracked software is COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
Both are still wrong, but are two very different things and I'm getting tired of people going on with the "piracy is theft" argument.
Let's say I have 5 widgets for sale on a table. They cost me $20 to produce and I'm selling them for $35. Someone comes up and steals one of those widgets. I have now only 4 widgets that I can sell, having been physically deprived of one of them and therefore the production costs and the potential revenue from its sale. This is theft.
Now, lets say I am Steinberg. Last time I checked Cubase was around $1000 here in Canada. If some 15-year old warez d00d downloads a cracked version, have I been deprived of anything? Is there one less copy of Cubase available for me to sell? NO!! That kid was most likely never going to be a customer the in the first place, and could probably not afford it anyway. The point is that unlike the CD-seller in my example above, Steinberg as not "lost" anything. Their copyright has been infringed, but they have not had anything STOLEN from them.
Get it? Got it? Good.

good point tho. no actual "loss" except for the potentially lost sales. no matter what you say, there are "some"
still a good point regarding the distinction
